ABOUT THE PIECE:
Spine was composed in 2014-15 for the Yale Percussion Group, featuring Yifei Fu. A single line-Yifei’s part-runs through most of the piece, and virtually all of the musical material is derived from it. This meta-line serves as the spine of the music, both in structural terms (backbone), but also with respect to the line’s perceived control over the direction and progression of the music (central nervous system). The music played by the other three members of the quartet serves to color and punctuate the main line. However, over the course of the work, players drift in and out of agreement with one another, and occasionally the primary line loses its unique identity within the texture of the ensemble. I tried to impart an almost biological sense to the way motives grow, attempting to balance intuitive-almost improvisatory-types of development with more structured patterns and processes. I am incredibly grateful to the talented musicians of the Yale Percussion Group for their dedication and unwavering support.

Anyone know of any bands/ groups that perform pieces of this relation?
If you're looking for drummy stuff listen to Pleiades by xenakis(peaux or melanges are the movements with drums)
It Is Time by So Percussion and Steve Mackey is similar ish in terms of group interplay and odd grooves. It is very very goid
Computer Controlled Acoustic Instruments pt2 EP - Aphex Twin
Is that a partially prepared piano? I love it.
+SpunckyJew6969 Hi! Yes it is. Halfway through the piece the pianist places Blu-Tack (a kind of adhesive putty) on a few of the pitches. Thanks for watching!
+Michael Laurello What's the instrument the soloist has over the bongo and conga that kinda looks like a pizza peel and a travel conga had a baby?
Kellen Smith I'm not sure the actual name for it, but I've heard it called a fan drum. data.yamaha.jp/sdb/local/products/images/40207/12001/40207_12001_1.jpg
It's called an Uchiwa daiko
