Topologies

In instrumentation (human hands) and form (rhythmic phaseshifting), Topologies pays homage to Steve Reich’s Clapping Music, however the process does not unfold in the same way. Topologies was written out of a desire to plainly demonstrate the rhythmic interactions that reveal themselves in a piece of toporhythmic network music.

Performed here in three different locations on the University of Calgary campus in the spring of 2016. Special thanks to percussionists Eric Bumstead and Grant Tofani.
