Expanse
Malletkat and electronics
6 minutes
score still in the exclusivity period for Alex Appel
Program notes:
Commissioned by Alex Appel for his Kai Mara project, Expanse places groove front and center. The Malletkat allows the performer to switch between more organic, bell-like sounds (dulcimer, chimes, etc.) that make up supporting melodic material and cutting synths used for leads (all percussion is part of the backing track). Approximately 6 minutes in duration.
