for Multi-Percussion | Tom, Bottles, Metal Pipe | 6′ | 2019
In this piece, stem directions generally dicatate the hand used. Stems down refers to an instrument played by the left hand, where an upward stem is played by the right hand. This is to facilitate playing with the Tom to the right of the other instruments on a table. This layout can be flipped horizontally, and the stem/hand direction can be inverted so that the right hand is down, and left hand is up. From rehearsal letter F to the end, the hands are beamed together, as implements are shown through noteheads.
