XY (Part 1 of 2)by Michael GordonPerformed by Morris Palterat the University of KentuckySingletary Center for the ArtsApril 11, 2007The title "XY" (1997) refers to the X- and Y-shape patterns made by the performer's sticks as they negotiate the setup. The work itself is founded upon various polyrythmic ratios (3:2, 5:4, 6:5) which in turn expand to form different melodic patterns throughout the trajectory of the work. For much of the time, as one hand is getting louder, the other hand is getting softer and vice versa. "XY" can be performed on any of the same five instruments whether they be wooden, skinned, or mnetallic.Morris is the Artistic Director of Ensemble 64.8 (UAF percussion ensemble), the Artistic Director for the University of Alaska Fairbanks New Music Festival, the World Music Artistic Coordinator for the Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival, and the Co-Artistic Director for the SoundON Modern Music Festival held each year in San Diego.More info about Morris Palter at:http://morrispalter.com/Please check out more videos in my channel!
