{"product_id":"ukare-funk-parts-farr","title":"Farr-Ukare Funk (Parts ONLY)-P","description":"Ukare Funk by Gareth Farr is a piece for percussion quartet. Score and parts sold separately. This piece was commissioned as the finale of Strike's new show Elemental, Ukare Funk explores different ways of finding syncopation within a triple (compound) beat. Complicated cross rhythms playing against more steady groove rhythms is a major feature of the piece's rhythmic textures. It also uses an unusual time signature throughout the piece - 4+5\/8 alternating with 4+6\/8 - which in simpler language sounds like a regular bar of four beats with a little bit left over at the end!  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe piece is inspired by Japanese taiko drumming and uses Strike's newly-made taiko drums. \"Ukare\" is, as a musical term, Japanese for a swung or compound beat. In everyday usage it also means \"letting go\" or \"throwing caution to the wind and enjoying yourself\", which sums up the mood of the piece perfectly.","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43805257662518,"sku":"PE129P","price":41.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/farr-ukare-funk-parts-only-p.jpg?v=1773459489","url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.com\/products\/ukare-funk-parts-farr","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
