Passing Through

Passing Through

5-octave Marimba (three players)

Passing Through is a work for marimba (three players) and computer-genreated sound (recorded or in real time via laptop computer). This piece was a collaborative effort with composer Stan Link, conceived as an homage to composer John Cage's ideas of indeterminacy in music. The two of us worked independantly from each other, neither knowing exactly what the other was doing, or had done, until the premiere. The marimba pieces (Slayton) and the computer-generated soundscapes to accompany them (Link) coexist as separate entities, tied together only through the singularity of the philosophical concept. That being said, the marimba work (listed here) may be performed seprately. To obtain a recording of the computer music, please inquire with ACA, or contact me directly.


Movements: 52. Keeping Still, 11. Passing Through, 21. Bite and Crack - 12. Obstruction, 43. Deciding - 48. The Well, 22. Beautifying, 57. Penetration - 36. Wounded Brightness

Authored (or revised): 2012
