Here’s a teaser of the Ohio University Percussion Ensemble performing Dong-Wook Park’s Contrast.This work combines a traditional Korean percussion duo (performing on Janggo, Buk, Kkwaenggwari and Jing) with a westren percussion quintet

Be sure to check out their PASIC performance Wednesday at 1:00pm (they kick off the session that Percussion Group Cincinnati performs on).

Here’s a performance of Cage’s 1948 piano piece Dream.

After seeing a video of Thad Anderson performing this piece I decided to get the score and make my own arrangement. There wasn’t enough time in the studio class for me to perform the whole work so I only took one pass, but throughout the piece I begin adding octave doublings in some of the vibe passages (in much the same way that Dr. Anderson adds crotales to the texture).
