A wave and waves
A wave and waves
for 100 percussion instruments
by Michael Pisaro
Greg Stuart, percussion

Sunday May 11th, 8:00pm
Calit2 Black Box Theater
Paper ripping, maracas turning very slowly, bowed woodblocks, hulled millet falling on snare drums and pebbles moving in a metal bowl. These sounds (and many more) come together to create the world premier of Michael Pisaro's "A wave and waves." This 74-minute composition for 100 percussionists is based on John Ashbery's epic poem, "A Wave." UCSD percussionist Greg Stuart has recorded all of the parts, nearly 3'500 separate events, which will be played back in a beautiful 16-channel mix compiled by CRCA's Ben Hackbarth.
