Eric Guinivan Sound Samples: 1 2 3
Twelve is a progressively fast-paced study in development and crescendo. Scored for twelve drums, two tam-tams, and two bells, Twelve begins with a very simple rhythmic idea that is elaborated, developed and layered through a variety of textures and tempos while maintaining a gradual accelerando and crescendo throughout. As the piece reaches the moment of highest intensity, the key rhythmic elements begin to unfold in reverse as the tempo becomes even quicker! Duration: ca. 12' 46" college/professional. - - - - - - - -

“The idea of writing music to accompany travel is appealing to me as
it’s an unusual coupling of meditation and movement.
Travelogue is an exploration of this idea,
which may best be described as a road trip illustrated through sound.”

At times subtle, at
times highly rhythmic, this is a unique and challenging duo in two
movements: Prelude, for Frame Drum (Bodhran, played lap-style) and Gong;
and Episode, for Frame Drum and Darabuka. This piece calls for a variety
of performance techniques and some prior familiarity with basic hand
drum performance practice would be an asset, when approaching this piece
- although all strokes/techniques are explained in the accompanying
descriptive notes. A unique addition to any advanced level recital!
