Ictus für Schlagzeug Solo - 9 Min.; Neue Musik, sehr rhythmisch; 3 Cowb., 3 WBl., 5 TBl., 2 Bongos, 2 Tom-Toms, Bass Drum withfoot pedal, advanced

Ictus is a fast percussion ostinato; the continuous movement in changing metres, often with strong dynamic contrasts in the smallest of spaces, is divided among the instruments. The combination of tom-toms and bass drum forms a kind of ritornello. Now and then, cowbells, wood blocks, temple blocks and bongos are added in a complex compartmentalized sequence. The piece ends in a crescendoing improvisation on all instruments.
