Montoya-Rumble Strips (SP)-B/V/X/2M/4T/P/electronic accompaniment (download)

Inspired by noise pop, techno/trance, and dubstep, Rumble Strips mixes acoustic percussion with audio accompaniment. Not just a 'pop' piece, Rumble Strips is a challenging, yet fun work for the performers and audience members alike. While not inspired directly by any specific song, there are subtle, and not so subtle, homages, nods and hints of Britney Spears, Enigma, Falco, Flux Pavilion, Nero, Skrillex, Sleigh Bells, and other songs and artists one might hear on the radio, in a club, or a BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix.
