Atkatz-Chaos to Creation (SP)-V/Cro./M/P/KBD

Chaos to Creation is a seven-player percussion ensemble by Ted Atkatz. The ~13 minute work contains unison drum solos, a Rhodes patch, beautifully lyrically vibraphone lines and even a bit of whistling!
This truly epic ensemble strikes a perfect balance between rock/pop and 'serious' collegiate percussion literature. Ted's background as both Principal Percussionist of the Chicago Symphony and lead vocalist of the Los Angeles-based rock band, NYCO, served him well in creating this one-of-a-kind percussion ensemble.
