Pop Blocks : for wood blocks (3 players) & electronics / Stephen de Filippo
Library shelf no. 785.6813/DEF 1 [Available for loan]
Work Overview
Pop Blocks is a short work for percussion trio, electronics, and fixed media. The ensemble performs with only wood blocks, with one of the blocks, a wooden agogo, connected to a contact mic. The agogo's rhythmic scrapes are projected throughout the room - processed and spatialized around the performance space through a quadraphonic speaker setup. The fixed media component adds a poppy and blippy layer to the composition, which is sometimes reminiscent of old radio, but overall cutesy and light.
