Lansky: Threads / So Percussion
Since 1999, So Percussion has been creating music that explores all the extremes of emotion and musical possibility. It has not been an easy music to define. Called an âexperimental powerhouseâ by the Village Voice, âastonishing and entrancingâ by Billboard Magazine, and âbrilliantâ by the New York Times, the Brooklyn based quartetâs innovative work with todayâs most exciting composers and their own original music has quickly helped them forge a unique and diverse career.
Threads, written for So Percussion in 2005, is a half-hour long âcantataâ for percussion quartet in ten short movements. There are three âthreadsâ that are interwoven in the piece: Arias and Preludes that focus on the metallic pitched sounds of vibraphones, glockenspiel and pipes; Choruses in which drumming predominates; and Recitatives made largely from Cage-like noise instruments, bottles, flower pots, crotales, etc. The aim of the different threads is to highlight the wide range of qualities that percussion instruments are capable of, from lyrical and tender to forceful and aggressive, and weave them into one continuous âthreadâ.
