Composer Michael Gordon explores the various timbres of a set of 2x4s in, wait for it... Timber, which was co-commissioned by the Dutch dance company, Club Guy and Roni, Slagwerk den Haag, Mantra Percussion, with generous support from the Nief-Norf project. Gordon talks about composing the piece here.
When I heard of the piece, I was a little skeptical. How interesting could a few pieces of wood really be? Now that I've heard part of it, I find the textures intriguing. What do you think?
