Nozny-Convex (SP)-B/2V/Cro./Steel drs./2M/P

The musical influences of Convex can be traced to three specific things: The music of New Zealand composer John Psathas which I have been immersed in for the past two years as a member of the percussion group JP3, the orchestrations of Psathas' music by Omar Carmenates for that same group, and Mark Ford's request at the beginning of the commissioning process for a piece that incorporated the steel drum into the contemporary percussion ensemble.
