Work introduction
Samudra was dedicated to Brent Miller, who performed the piece for the first time at the AUSTRALIAN PERCUSSION GATHERING, which took place in Brisbane on July 21, 2016. It is a virtuoso percussion music, a state of trance trying to be induced by the process of repetition. The use of the voice at the end of the piece strengthens the ritual character, the unexpected dynamic contrasts and timbre changes together with the use of glissando ensuring an active listening and the avoidance of monotony.
