*NEW* Nick Zoulek / Third Coast Percussion video! 📢🎥🎶🙌🤘

@nickzoulek composed Reminder: Grow, Reflect, Repeat for @thirdcoastpercussion as part of their annual Currents Creative Partnership. 

The piece is scored for a single 4.3 octave marimba with the option of including video art, also created by Nick. The piece has themes of nostalgia (especially for those of us who grew up using cassette tapes 📼😂), personal growth, reflection, with a healthy dose of Chicago love ❤️

Check the link in the @thirdcoastpercussion profile for the full video on their YouTube channel.

New percussion piece by Jessie Montgomery! 🙌🔥🥁

Study no. 1 is @jessiemontgomerymusic’s first piece for percussion quartet. She workshopped the piece with @thirdcoastpercussion in their Chicago rehearsal studio last year—and together they tried to find every sound possible out of a single drum (a tom tom), a metal bowl, a triangle, and a single crotale. 

See the full video on Third Coast Percussion’s YouTube channel. 

Video was captured at @depaulsom by @nz_media_ with audio edited and mixed by @colindcampbell. 

And s/o @percussivearts for commissioning the piece for the 2023 PASIC Collegiate All Star Group under the direction of @she.e.wu.

Maths!!! ✖️➗➕🟰🧮

The new piece we got from @tigranhamasyan has all kinds of fun rhythmic tricks including a couple of very cool metric modulations. Here’s one…from our live show on WFMT radio on Monday.
