It Is Time

It Is Time

It Is Time marshals the virtuosity of the individual members of So Percussion to speed, slow, warp, celebrate and mourn our perceptions of time. Each of the four sections of the piece is a mini-concerto for one of the players. First Eric Beach leads the music in a multi-percussion set up composed of metronome with delay, pump organ, bells, china cymbal on hi-hat stand and a few other assorted toys. Josh Quillen follows on steel drums, Adam Sliwinski on marimba, and Jason Treuting on drumset. The piece also represents our subjective experience of the passage of time and of aging. Says Mackey, 'I felt saddened by the
immutability of time and the finite limits to how much of It I will be able to spend. It Is Time fantasizes that we might have agency with respect to time.'
