Maric-Sense & Innocence (SPCD)-V/M/Cro./CD - Product Information
Sense and Innocence by Dave Maric for solo percussion with CD backing track. Scored for 5-octave marimba, vibraphone, high octave of crotales, and a selection of cymbals (bass bow required).
"Sense and Innocence inhabits a different world of sound. Using percussion and sampled percussion, for me, this is the highlight of the disc. The ethereal sounds of the opening are captivating and take on a new dimension. The music bursts into repeated riffs with a beat which is reminiscent of pop music and once again encourages dancing. The more upbeat sections are juxtaposed against bowed cymbals and electronically treated sounds, moving without warning from light into darkness. The return to the opening mood is all the more spooky, as a result of having interrupted the flow of the previous material. The performance is again flawless, to the extent that one is hardly aware of the performance, but instead drawn towards the musical world which it presents. At times, it is impossible to tell what is electronic and what is live; the sounds merge to form a unified whole. There is tremendous variety within this ten minute work, and I long to hear it in live performance. This is excellent music, superbly played."
