Hard at work on a NEW PIECE for the #PIXELMASTERWORKS project!! This is a tiny practice clip from @slide20xx (Star Victoria Power)’s work for marimba and digital delay, Intro and Loop! I am so excited to continue digging into this piece in the coming months and CANNOT WAIT to share this absolute #banger with the world!
This piece is a fast and relentless groove in 5 with delay at the quarter note. The “Intro” section gradually introduces the piece’s rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic characteristics, which are elaborated on in the challenging “Loop” section, which mirrors the composer’s approaching to “looping” in their video game soundtracks. This is Star’s first publicly presented concert work, and I sure hope it isn’t the last 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The PIXEL MASTERWORKS consortium is still open, by the way, until June 15 (final delivery day). Link in bio to read more about the project and contribute for access and exclusivity for the seven new pieces. Going forward, every consortium member who will receive sheet music (including those who have already contributed) will also receive the PIXEL MASTERWORKS album, to be recorded summer 2026 and released late 2026/early 2027.
