PAYLOAD

chamber ensemble | 6 percussion + cello + double bass | 5’30” | medium-advanced | 2020

Premiered by the University of Oklahoma percussion ensemble under the direction of Dr. Andrew Richardson.

“PAYLOAD” is an energetic chamber piece for six percussionists, cello, and contrabass. Inspired by the sheer power and driving force produced by the rocket boosters for a space shuttle launch, it portrays a mixture of experiences one might have while taking off, leaving the atmosphere, and the suspension of gravity.
