Description
Only Includes CD for Moving Air!!!
Moving Air is a short, up tempo work for four percussionists & pre-recorded tape (or c.d.).
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.
Number of Players: 4
Difficulty: Grade 5
Instrumentation:
Player I: 6 Toms
Player II: 6Toms
Player I:Cabassa, Congas, Woodblocks, Metal Sheet, Cymbal
Player I: 2 Bass Drums, 4 Log Drums, Metal Sheet
Nigel Westlake's career in music has spanned more than 3 decades. He studied the clarinet with his father, Donald Westlake (a prominent Australian musician & principal clarinetist with the Sydney Symphony orchestra 1961-1979) & subsequently left school early to pursue a performance career in music. Nigel toured Australia & the world playing with ballet companies, a circus troupe, chamber music groups, fusion bands & orchestras to the cities of London, New York, Rome, Washington, Tokyo, Beijing, Paris, Amsterdam, Vancouver, Moscow, Hong Kong, Berlin, New Delhi & Singapore to name but a few. His interest in composition dates from the late 1970's when he formed a classical/jazz-rock/world-music fusion band to play original music. During this time he started to receive offers to compose for radio & circus. Commissions for TV & film soon followed.
