"Comet" is a duet for marimba and vibraphone that explores the captivating and mesmerizing qualities of irregular time signatures. The piece is composed in 7/8 time signature, with sections that switch to 6/8 and 5/8 time signatures, creating a thrilling and unpredictable rhythmic landscape.

The title "Comet" refers to the idea of a celestial object that travels through space, leaving behind a trail of shimmering light. The performers aim to evoke this image through the use of shimmering textures and sparkling melodies, creating a sense of movement and momentum.

The piece opens with a pulsing marimba ostinato, which is answered by a vibraphone melody. The two instruments then engage in a rhythmic dialogue, trading off melodies and interlocking rhythms. As the piece progresses, the time signature changes, creating a sense of tension and release
