Engine Room rough draft finished!
Whew! For the last few months I’ve been working on a new piece called Engine Room for debut at On Ensemble’s Works in Progress concert. I’m pleased to say, the rough draft is finally done! The last 30 seconds of the piece took me almost a month to figure out… but I think I like it. Please join us at the show and let me know what YOU think!
Here is the rough score for anyone interested. Here are the original Inkscape files for the score too.
Kelvin: here is the video explaining the ending. Thanks for all your work on the piece!

Nice! It’s fun to watch the bachi movement in this video. Maybe it’s the light and shadows… I don’t know… but great work!! I’m really looking forward to listening to the piece at Works in Progress!
