Dear Friends,

The Fall concert season is officially off and running, and we are thrilled to welcome a new album from Darian Donovan Thomas this Friday on Sō Percussion Editions: Individuate.

Individuate features a new, flexible-instrumentation piece from the brilliant and fabulously talented Darian — with multiple performances, by Sō, and by fellow-commissioners and spectacular artists, Bergamot Quartet.

Also featured on the album are Darian’s works, Kid Gunner Brother, and Stephon Clark.

Celebrate the release this Sat, Oct 22 at 8pm.. in a Brooklyn Bound concert at our studio! Darian and Bergamot will be there.

Brooklyn Bound Oct 22 Info
“As we individuate, we connect and identify with the entire human family.”
– Carl Jung

Individuate was commissioned through the Sō Percussion New Work Development Program by Sō Percussion and Bergamot Quartet. It is composed in a way that allows any instrumentalist to perform the piece, and the piece can also be performed by groups of multiples of four players. On this album, there are three versions – by Sō Percussion, by Bergamot Quartet, and by Sō Percussion and Bergamot together.

Kid Gunner Brother and Stephon Clark were both written for the Sō Percussion Summer Institute.

Kasey Blezinger

All works composed by Darian Donovan Thomas

Apparently this band has been making new music for 35 years and didn’t bother to tell many people. Why ruin it? Rose, Eddie, Hanna, Tim, Squiggy, Lemmy, Alfalfa they’ll all be there, with brand new ways to cut in song in pieces. Tell Everyone! Cuz it’s free (donation suggested) and there’s a fridge of beer and seltzer!
