Austerity Measures video

 

Check out the Portland Percussion Group’s excellent video of my composition, Austerity Measures.

Thanks to Aaron, Brett, Brian, and Chris for their great performance.

Austerity Measures was one of three scores selected for the PPG’s 2015 Call for Scores, “Nothing With Wheels.”

This piece for percussion quartet is scored for a small number of instruments for economy and portability, but utilizes a number of temporal concepts in contemporary music as well as show cases some of the orchestral accessory percussion instruments.

Learn more about the piece here, where you’ll find program notes and how to obtain the score.
