 <\/p>\n

This is a percussion quartet piece premiered by So Percussion in 2018, written for auxiliary instruments and clapping, body languages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

the limited instrumentation i was presented with for this piece led me to look towards musical tradition that arose from restriction & necessity. the main inspiration became work songs & i began looking into the history & traditions tied to my ancestral past– african american slave (\u201cwork\u201d) songs & arhoolies (agricultural work songs). i then was pulled in other related directions; to industrial folk songs, military cadences & sea shanties, all of which are founded in aural tradition and a nature of call & response. My hope is for those who engage with this piece to look back not only to these specific musical traditions, but to the history of prison labor, the prison-industrial complex, institutionalized oppression\/racism and then to its present-day, ongoing persistence.<\/span><\/p>\n
