Improvisation (Anchor)

double seconds steel pan

This composition began as an improvisation I did during a late-night steel pan practice session while I was attending Indiana University. It was premiered by Allison Littlejohn, who I met at SōSI and commissioned me to transcribe it, at the University of Akron. This is the recording of my original improvisation.
