Already obsessed with different kinds of time—human time, the “spectral” time of sleep, the compressed cycles of insect noise—French composer Gérard Grisey was bowled over when he heard the percussive and regular emissions of pulsars, the super-dense remnants of stars that have gone super-nova. Third Coast Percussion perform the striking result, Le Noir de l’Etoile, an unforgettable composition for six percussionists and tape with the musicians surrounding the audience.

LITTLE Haunt of Last Nightfall
This concert is the culminating event in a week of activities looking at the tragic events that occurred in the small town of El Mozote, El Salvador during that country’s civil war in the 1980’s. These events inspired composer David T. Little’s work for Third Coast Percussion entitled Haunt of Last Nightfall. Events leading up to the performance include a display of photographer Susan Meiselas’s photography from the event, and panel discussions including the composer and leaders in the field of history and human rights in El Salvador, including Oscar Chacon, Joaquin Chavez, Eric Stover, and Susan Gzesh.
The concert also includes works from Frederic Rzewski (a major influence on Little) and John Cage (a major influence on Rzewski) – all musical works which respond to historic events in radically different ways.

Third Coast returns to Constellation with “dark rooms,” an evening of extreme sensory stimuli, featuring music by America’s most innovative and omnivorous young composers. Marcos Balter (who was recently named to a Guggenheim Fellowship) composed dark rooms for Third Coast Percussion in 2007, one of TCP’s first commissioned works. It consists of 5 miniatures that each create their own unique sonic spaces, ranging from delicate to brutal, rave-like to mysterious. Chris Fisher-Lochhead’s brand new work explores the limits of rhythmic complexity while drawing curious colors from a broad arsenal of wood, metal and glass objects. In Ted Hearne’s Thaw, (recently recorded for Parlour Tapes’ *AND album) intensifying drums break through a wall of icy glockenspiel, and Caroline Shaw’s sparse Taxidermy features a dozen flower pots with meditative marimba and vibraphone accompaniment. Toy piano, metal keyboards and electronic sounds make up Daniel Wohl’s funky and ecstatic Pixelated, and the quartet rocks out on 4 drum sets in Julia Wolfe’s Dark Full Ride.
