Terrains (Percussion Ensemble with interactive media)
Performed by the UC Santa Barbara Percussion Ensemble
John Nathan conducting.
Terrains explores the territories of timbre. Much of the electronics features time-stretching of the live sound and some triggered sounds, all controlled by the conductor via footpedal. This piece features prominent use of mallets made from fingernail files and superballs.
Thanks to Marley at CalArts for the mallet tip.
