title: "Trinetik"
description: "Traditional rollercoasters utilize kinetic energy, reaching their maximum
at the bottom of a slope (when it is the fastest). A student actually
pointed out to me that the musical energy of the piece resembled that of a
rollercoaster, and I thought it was a great observation! Coupled with many
musical and rhythmic motives loosely based on groupings of three, the name
Trinetik is a mash-up of Tri (3) and kinetic (energy)."

Traditional rollercoasters utilize kinetic energy, reaching their maximum

Trinetik for mallet quartet was commissioned by the Northwestern State
University of Louisiana Percussion Ensemble for their PASIC 2021 New
Literature Session showcase concert. Dr. Oliver Molina, director.
