Duration: 10 minutes. ‘Kraftmaschine’ was commissioned by the Orff Zentrum and the ADevantgarde Festival in Munich and it was inspired by Carl Orff's approach into building musical structures out of basic rhythmical and melodic patterns. It uses a wide variety of Renaissance, Baroque and modern day recorders, bringing out their subtle differences of timbre. Due to its versatility and directness, this interesting instrumental ensemble (four recorder players & three percussion players) also encouraged me to incorporate elements from Peruvian folk music in four brief episodes that are playfully interrupted by an intrusive ratchet. In the final section, I make use of the aulos technique in which each of the four players is asked to play two recorders simultaneously in an obsessively repetitive –but nevertheless constantly shifting- group of five notes.

Much of his body weight leans into the console, which is coupled to his body through his right arm. Head faced down, he concentrates deeply on the funk/jazz/dub mix in progress. Earlier in the session hours had been spent in aligning and biasing the Otari MTR90 24 track tape machine; in selecting and tweaking the outboard EQs, compressors, and reverbs; in getting the mix “in the ballpark.” However, “in the ballpark” won’t do. Ron’s concentrating on the bass. In particular, he’s concentrating on his right arm, for Ron knows his control room, he knows his monitors, he knows that the bass is “in the pocket” when it feels a certain way in his right forearm.

  • Tambourine Essentials: Basic Concepts for Superior Performance by Ben Stiers
    Tambourine Essentials: Basic concepts for superior performance by Ben Stiers Let’s face it: the tambourine isn’t the most glamorous instrument in the percussion family. In a typical educational setting, other “core” instruments such as snare drum, marimba, and timpani tend to dominate most students’ practice time. As a result, many percussionists lack a basic understanding of sound production on the tambourine, and approach playing situations with poor technique. This is a shame, because developing a basic set of tambourine skills isn’t very difficult at all! It’s my hope that the information I’ve provided here will get you through most of the tambourine parts you’ll encounter. AND, for the few situations you’ll run into where something else is needed, the list of resources I’ve included will likely be able to help you out. If not, BE CREATIVE! Problem solving is part of the fun of being a percussionist! PART 1: GET TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT Your basic concert tambourine has three basic parts: A head, a shell, and jingles. • Every concert tambourine has a head. If the tambourine you were planning to use doesn’t have a head, it’s probably meant to be used as a hand-held rock/pop instrument or mounted on a drumset. Find one that has a head instead! Depending on your brand of tambourine, the head will be glued and/or tacked to the shell, so most tambourines can’t be tuned easily. While plastic heads are becoming more common, most tambourines still come with calfskin heads.
