Description
Omnes Trio, the Latin translation of ‘Trio for All’, was written as an expression to promote equality within the percussion field. With homogeneous instrumentation and a shared set-up, the piece is characterized by hocketed rhythmic lines, trading grooves between players, and soloistic passages that create rapidly flowing textures and quasi-melodic lines. The elegiac opera gong motive serves as a sonic cushion between dark silence and intensive waves of rhythm.
