B2B is a piece inspired by listening to and seeing several
masters of traditional drumming. Playing off one hand with the other in
the air and turning a stick upside down thus playing with the tip and
butt alternately are typical caracteristics of this art.
From bar 59 to 65, the player will recognize some examples of typical
dance rhythms which have followed the drum through the years. The
motive in bars 70 to 73 (4.3.4.2) is typical from Icelandic folk
songs/danses.
The performer should of course find his own movements and gestures, though fulfilling the written music.
