Listen to Arnold Marinissen
	John Cage - Story from Living Room Music
	In Living room music for percussion quartet, one of Cage's earlier works, pulse and rhythm are still important elements. Movements I, III and IV are for percussion instruments; movement II, Story, is for four voices. In Story, a little poem by Gertrud Stein is set to music by treating phrases, words, syllables and letters from the poem as musical material. once upon a time the world was round and you could go on it around and around All four voices by Marinissen.
	Brian Ferneyhough - Bone Alphabet
	Bone Alphabet was written at the request of percussionist Steven Schick, who wanted a solo piece for a very compact set of percussion instruments, so compact in fact that it could be transported in a single suitcase... This request resulted in a piece for seven sound sources. Each source must be of a different material and family of percussion instruments, but they must all provide a clear attack, a short decay and a big dynamic range. The ultimate choice of instruments lies with the performer. The rhythmic matrixes of Allgebrah for oboe and strings were used as a starting point for the composition. This material however was re-ordered and 'filtered' according to completely different formal criteria; thirteen 'areas' were staked out, and caleidoscopically re-distributed. Sudden sharp contrasts and an exceptional whimsicality are the result.
	Michel van der Aa - Wake
	Michel van der Aa, one of Europe's most frequently asked composers, wrote Wake in 1997. For Van der Aa music is more than just organized sounds, or the structuring of notes. In his music picture and sound play a game of continuously changing perspectives. Wake is commedia dell'arte for a percussionist and a mime percussionist. In this piece, Van der Aa researches how visual and auditive aspects can influence one another in an auditive canon. Van der Aa and Marinissen recently realized a film which turnsWake into a solo piece with film.
