Lunch Break 15 'Cha Cha Hammer' Lunch Break 15 'Cha Cha Hammer'
It's unrelated to the previous piece, 'The Hammers', but it kinda sounds the same, except happier I guess. Three marimbas and three xylophones in Raga Kafi scale. Nothing to do with cha chas.

2 xylophones, 4 marimbas, one set of electronic drums... a whole lotta percussion! The hammers!

People often say, 'don't get bent out of shape'. Well, I did. Musically at least. Bent notes for bells and bass in a swingin' rhythm.
Lunch Break 13 'Music for Squirrels' Lunch Break 13 'Music for Squirrels'
I originally intended this to be an homage to Edgard Varese, but it ended up going to squirrels instead. I'm not sure how. ;-) Great if you're into xylophones, agogo and timpani.
