True Bugs
for solo percussion and spoken word
True Bugs is written for the outdoor listener who finds solace in silence. Inspired by the shrill melodies of cicadas during the summer, this piece features spoken words reflecting on the songs of bugs and the ensuing loss of sanity. The instrumentation enables performers to evoke textures and timbres that convey feelings of unease and distress, interspersed with moments of melodic clarity. Tension and release are integral to the piece's structure, with new ideas swiftly entering and exiting. Percussion heightens the tension, while the vibraphone provides respite from the intricacies of mixed meters.
