Notes on this piece
Crumbs, for amplified percussion and electronics, is an aphoristic composition that explores delicate grains, sounds, and textures. The work was designed to be portable. The instruments and found objects used in the live-percussion part can easily fit inside a small box.
The work is comprised of six short sections, each examining a unique set of small handheld percussion instruments and common household items. The work is centered around a 5:1 ratio, which controls the piece’s proportions and the distribution of the number of attacks per section. Each of the first five sections are composed of two gestures: 1 decelerating and 1 accelerating. Their weighted proportions gradually shift from a 5:1 to a 1:5 ratio. The 6th section is divided into 5 additional parts that mirror the largescale proportions in the piece. The work begins with small, bright, effervescent grains, and gradually incorporates larger, deeper, and more resonant textures.
