brrrr
Written on June 2nd , 2022 by Brandon Woo SnyderSnare Drum and Delay Pedal
In brrrr, the percussionist repeatedly plays a simple 6-stroke roll, and controls a simple delay-effect using an expression pedal. By controlling the delay-time and feedback, the pitch and tempo of the snare drum signal is altered, created explosive gestures out of the simple dry snare roll. After introducing a simple time-pitch relationship between snare drum and delay-effect in the first half, the percussion erratically expands and over-saturates that relationship; manifesting the dry snare drum as a quasi-supernatural timpani, glissando-ing down to bellowing low booms as well as up to blazing fast, tight strikes.
