Timber - Michael Gordon (excerpts)

Percussion stripped to its bare essence: six pieces of raw wood, six players. Timber, by New York based composer Michael Gordon, is a one-hour transcendental journey driven by the natural resonance of pure wood. The total synchronicity of the percussionists creates pulses and sounds that circle around in the room. That's why we just love playing this piece.
In the overture, Niels goes to town with some chopsticks, a plant and a contact-mic. Enjoy!
