    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

The Red Shoes (Pamela Madsen, 1996) commissioned by percussionist Patti Cudd, is from The Sexton Cycle, an hour-long cycle of works for solo- ists, ensembles and electronics based on the poetry of Pulitzer Prize winning confessional poet Anne Sexton (1928-1974). She was a mad housewife in the fifties who, after giving birth to her child, was dissatisfied with her life. She wrote about the social confusions of growing up in the female body and of living as a woman in postwar American Society.
This work conveys the inner duality and conflict of the self with the society as expressed in the poem through the cultural construct as well as through the struggle of the individual performer over the score or the composer. In the course of the work many different struggles of self vs. environment take place which are articulated by how the percussionist speaks in relationship to the multiple layers of percussion on which she is performing. The percussion set-up was constructed out of simple “found” percussion that were repurposed for use in the work.
