A New Publication and More Composition Projects! / February 1, 2021
My new triangle trio, Traced Identities, is now officially available for purchase on Bachovich Publication's Website! The piece explores the extreme sonic and timbral possibilities of this often-neglected three-sided instrument! Check out Lineage Percussion's virtual performance of the piece.
At its surface, the title,Traced Identities, is nothing more than an innocent play on words, referencing the Spanish homophone, “tres” (t-r-e-s), meaning “three.” But the true meaning of the title stems from an interaction I had with a police officer in October of 2020. |

On February 19th, Lineage Percussion will also be performing the world premiere of another new composition of mine entitled Urban Renewal. The piece is inspired by the devastating Urban Renewal Plan that displaced and destroyed the homes of individuals across the country. The composition will be a single movement within our full performance of Shadows of Lakeland. Check out the full live-streamed event here: youtu.be/8bzLO1bxi1c?t=1337
GMEA All-State Prep Materials Now Available! / October 21, 2020
|
After many hours of recording, editing, and notating, the 2020-2021 GMEA Audition Prep Materials for Middle School and High School Percussionists are now available right here on my website!
Due to COVID-19, the first round of GMEA All-State Auditions will be submitting virtually via video recordings. This also means that ALL students will be expected to prepare excerpts of the audition etudes (typically these etudes are only performed after qualifying for the second round). It is my hope that, by preparing these practice materials, all high school and middle school students in the state of Georgia will be confident in preparing these etudes despite the unforeseen changes to the audition process. If you are a student hoping to succeed at this year's all-state audition, or if you are a Band Director looking for a professional percussionist to speak to your students about preparing a winning audition, please get in touch to set up your first virtual lesson or masterclass! |
