SPACE (2021)

multimedia solo for glockenspiel and tam-tam

SPACE is part of a collaborative project to create cinematic musical experiences for young percussionists.

SPACE tells the story of an astronaut sent to traverse the final frontier. When first entering space they are taken by how calm and vast it all is, but soon they begin exploring. Deeper and deeper into space they go on their voyage until finally finding and entering a black hole. Where they exit is a mystery.

This multimedia multi-percussion solo is part of a collaboration between Synced Up Designs, Music Chunks, and composers Mitchell Beck, Matt Moore, Francisco Perez, John Tadlock, and Russell Wharton that focuses on introducing technology and creative compositions to beginning level percussionists. This and the other multimedia etudes are also available to practice on MusicChunks.com under “Concert Etudes with Cinema.”
