Hollinden-Surface Tension (P)-P OS

A challenging duet for two multi-percussionists with nearly identical set-ups, Surface Tension by Dave Hollinden travels through many styles: hip-hop, rock, jazz waltz, and back again. As with his other compositions, Hollinden uses metric modulations for transitioning smoothly from section to section. Requires nimble hands on the part of both performers.
