Can't get you out of my mind : solo for two timpani (one player) / Robert Davidson.
Library shelf no. 786.93/DAV 1 [Available for loan]
Work Overview
Can't get you out of my mind is something like ruminating thoughts one has when apart from a loved one. There is a pleasurable meditation on the person's little foibles and personality traits and a sense of joy in thinking about them, making one feel more alive, in a wide open space. Mixed with this is the melancholy of separation, and a certain determination to be fully oneself. The music is very embodied, and takes its cues from many dance traditions, including salsa, jazz, electronic dance music and South Indian music for classical dance. It also explores some of the timpani's wonderful palette of tone colours.
