BALTAKAS VYKINTAS – Spicules

Musicians: 6 percussionists
Duration: 11′

Piece created as part of the “Legacy” program by composers Thomas Hummel and Sidney Corbett Corbett.

“Spicules are microscopic structures of hard crystal material found in sponges. They have fantastic shapes unique to the different species of each sponge.
This is a perfect metaphor for the musical structure of my piece: a continuous change of the melodic and rhythmical shapes, an ongoing morphing process from one micro element in to another, which results in a musical labyrinth”.
