Silverman-Naked and on Fire (SP)-V/tuned gongs/P

Naked and On Fire by Adam Silverman is an exotic sextet bringing together instruments from many corners of the world, with intricate writing for riq, triangles, gongs, tuned pipes, vibraphone and more. Using the same pitches of pipes called for in Paul Lansky's "Threads," this piece was used as an example of music that notation to express techniques of improvised styles in Samuel Z. Solomon's How To Write for Percussion.
