Sekhon-Sun (SP)-V/X/M/P OS - Product Information
Sun by Baljinder Singh Sekhon, II is a percussion trio that was commissioned by The Volta Trio. This piece explores a variety of musical energies. From tired phrases to extended climactic passages to short-lived bursts of sound, many segments of music are intertwined and overlaid in a way that creates a singular event (the piece) with various "flares" of sound on its surface. These segments are often separated by silent moments that, because of their context, each express a different type of energy. Duration: 12 minutes
