About

red fish blue fish is a critically acclaimed ensemble. This night they will perform "Timber" composed by Michael Gordon. Scored for six graduated, amplified, wooden Simantras (2x4s), the work brings the physicality, endurance and technique of percussion performance to a new level. Gordon shapes the music in both polyrhythmic and dynamic waves of textures; often each players' hands are in separate rhythmic 'worlds', each traversing a different dynamic contour from loud to soft to loud.
