Nozny-...folded...(SP)-B/V/C/Cro./X/2M/P

...folded... can be looked at as a piece of loose leaf paper folded upon itself at random. Areas of the material – corners – lines – edges - are now layered on top of one another in what seems like chaos and disarray. And yet there is still an order to the chaos. All of the lines are straight, the material is still clean and unmarked, and if unfolded, the piece of paper is still complete, though now marred by its shaping. It was commissioned by James Campbell for the University of Kentucky Percussion Ensemble's 2007
PASIC Showcase Concert in Columbus, OH.
