Set Theory (2024) ~10’

percussion quartet [4 percussionists sharing 1 drum set]

Written for the So Percussion.

“Set Theory” explores the relationship between individual and group through playing with how each percussionist can influence each other’s sound on one single drum set. Each percussionist takes on the role of a “layer” of the drumbeat, for example, the snare line or a hi-hat groove. The group theatrically navigates the dynamics of sharing one instrument, muting each other’s instruments, playing the same part of the drum set, or creating one cohesive sound across different instruments.
