⁂
para-parakeet was written about a strange unexpected encounter with parakeets. The title comes from prepending the prefix "para-" to the word parakeet.
This new word—para-parakeet—feels very silly to me. It reminds me of the reduplication commonly found in the Mandarin Chinese language, where names are repeated as a diminutive. It also reminds me of similar drumspeak, e.g. "para-paradiddle". It’s a very silly name.
⁂
Musically, para-parakeet takes inspiration from math rock, jazz fusion, video game boss themes, and the contemporary percussion repertoire.
The body percussion draws upon the use of layered body percussion in pop music.
Much of the piece, rhythmically, is centered around the number eleven, and how it interplays on top of a regular bar of 4/4.
⁂
para-parakeet was premiered by Rubén Acuña González, Ethan Hall, Dan Hartung, and Caroline Richards on October 29th, 2023 in Bates Recital Hall.
