the mallets are prancing
over wood and over metal
until into your ears the sound does settle
This is really nice. :-) Thanks for pointing it out Dee.
Steve Reich's Mallet Quartet has been an astounding success story. Now, one of the world's leading percussion ensembles and a group of four closely connected composers are using his template to lift off into new territories – somewhere between jazz and rock, minimalist pulsations and ambient bliss.

What a wonderful piece. Imagine a slow but steady Philip Glass-esque minimalist rhythm - then Reuter's sustained guitar notes gently yet forcefully floats in over the top. It hangs together so well, and rewards repeat listening. Well done Markus! Strange Daze Radio
These almost heartbreakingly gentle felted piano compositions have the delicacy and loveliness of slow-falling snow. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 30, 2023
