glenn kotche - monkey chant

Monkey Chat I was just listening to this and found the sections that use noise really interesting. I see a dichotomy between more traditional drumset material and then the extended techniques that create more noise material. The stuff @ 7 minutes is pretty interesting, particularly when the high pitch becomes integrated with the rhythmic material at 7:30 The transition off the hi hat at 10:00 is effective. There is a contrast of pitched and rhythmic material in the work and I think I would like more exploration of integration of those two. The big buildup to the end has some pretty impressive drumming 13 to 14.
