2017 GRAMMY Nominee - Best Chamber Music/ Small Ensemble Performance

“Sensational! Sometimes people ask if my music allows interpretation. I can’t think of a better answer than to play them your album.”
-Steve Reich

“It’s above all a sensual approach to tone color that comes through in Third Coast’s take on classic works”
-The New York Times

This album features iconic percussion works by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Steve Reich, whom The Village Voice deemed, “America’s greatest living composer.” Reich’s music has influenced artists ranging from art-pop and rock musicians Brian Eno and David Bowie to composers John Adams and Bang on a Can co-founders Michael Gordon, David Lang, and Julia Wolfe.

Works featured on the album include Mallet Quartet, Sextet, Nagoya Marimbas, and Music for Pieces of Wood.

Third Coast Percussion's second full-length album, "Unknown Symmetry," describes a very personal history of the Chicago-based ensemble from their founding in 2005 to today. The album includes the first recording of the percussion quartet arrangement of Arvo Pärt's iconic work, "Fratres;" beautiful, rarely-heard works by Peter Garland and Christopher Deane, and new music from Third Coast Percussion's own David Skidmore and former member of TCP, Owen Clayton Condon.

Skidmore's multi-movement work, "Common Patterns in Uncommon Time," was commissioned for the celebration of the 100th anniversary of Taliesin, Frank Lloyd Wright's home and architectural studio in rural Wisconsin.

Fratres - by Arvo Pärt

Piano and string quartet. This was written for the airbnb short film http://www.hollywoodandvines.com/, directed by Miles Jay.

Yann Tiersen - Janet

A track I composed using the violin, piano, harp, brass and orchestral strings.

The main idea of this theme is a complicated relationship existing between "Lovers & Madmen", where the piano and violin go back and forth as if having a strained conversation and then begin to harmonize towards the end.
