    I have long explored the world of percussion through touch, revealing marvelous and hidden sound worlds in simple objects. This collection shows my lifelong passion of bringing such new works to light.  A number of these pieces have lived with me since my graduate days, others are recent commissions, but all have expanded my musical horizons in extraordinary ways.  Now by extending the world of physical percussion with virtual computer objects and processes, I am excited to enter new sonic and mental territories in the company of these many remarkable composers.

about

CUT (Paul Elwood, 2009/2013) When I was an undergraduate I took a general astronomy class. Every Wednesday night, weather permitting, we participated in lab exercises led by a graduate student at a site in the country where we would look through telescopes, make observations, do simple calculations on star movement, etc. There was a cinderblock hut on the premises and the grad student would often tune the short wave radio in the hut to a station in Colorado that broadcast the Coordinated Universal Time (CUT) tone. I still think of these repetitive tones and clicks, punctuated by a calm male voice announcing each minute, as a great soundtrack for looking at the stars. I always thought that I’d do something with this experience so, finally, after thirty years or so I wrote CUT for solo percussion with recordings taken from the CUT radio station in Fort Collins, Colorado. The time tone and voice are the basis for this composition. While most announcements on the playback are actually each a minute apart, there are a couple of instances where time is shortened between segments and in one instance a time out of sequence is given. Earlier versions had all the time announcements out of sequence, but my friend, Hervé Nahon, of Marseille, France, suggested that I place the announcements in sequence to match the circadian expectation of our consciousness and I thought that this was a good suggestion. CUT is dedicated to Patti Cudd.
