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.

These almost heartbreakingly gentle felted piano compositions have the delicacy and loveliness of slow-falling snow. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 30, 2023

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
