Today You Will Be With Me In Paradise - Tachyon II for Timpano

Piece for solo timpano with suspended cymbal

Tachyon II was composed during the 2009 edition of Trstenice Composition & Percussion Masterclass and premiered by Jeff Beer.

The present version which was transformed into a game piece with breathing was elaborated in 2016.

Tachyon II is working on 7 different gestures (the 7 words of Christ on the cross), each with a different breathing pattern and sound production. The piece makes use of the natural resonance sounds between the cymbal and the timpano mambrane, with mallets and bow.
