Finley-Blade-P

Blade by Benjamin Finley is a multipercussion solo centered around an abbreviated drum set (snare drum, bass drum, tom toms – played while standing) and is complemented by three semiresonant metals (of the performer's choosing). Blade uses a series of hemiola-driven rhythmic gestures to weave a seemingly complex tapestry of a percussive sound and is underwritten by a common, recurring melodic theme which travels freely among all voices. Run time is approximately 6'05".
