Skoog-Metric Imperative (CD)

Metric Imperative features the percussion music of composer Donald Skoog. All tracks are performed by Don Skoog . Don Skoog plays marimba, vibes, xylophone, drumset, congas, bata drums, and Arabic percussion on seven original works in genres ranging from concert compositional to world percussion and jazz. Yet his music meanders through the byways which defy easy description. It's not exactly experimental, but it's not like anything you have heard before.
