Moving Air is a short, up tempo
work for four percussionists & pre-recorded cd.
The Tape part consists of various
unconventional sounds derived from the slamming of car doors, the
breaking of glass & the collision of garbage cans. These are
combined with conventional percussion sounds, all of which have been
sampled & triggered to play in sequence, sometimes forwards
(sounding as they normally do), & sometimes backwards (the sound is
reversed so that the decay becomes the attack). The players are
instructed to "play it loud!" to create optimum movement of air - hence
the title.
