Common Time

Newly commissioned works for percussion, percussion and percussion by Greg Sheehan, Sandy Evans, Lee McIver, Gai Bryant, Ed Goyer, Ryuji Hamada and the winner of the 2022 Percussion Australia Competition (World Premieres). It’s about time, shared time, common shared principles, sounds and instruments. It’s about a time and place - and the placement of time. The swing, the groove, the space, the clave - 2/3, 3/2 - shared and common elements. In Common Time, Synergy Percussion brings together percussive brethren through the pairing of Western 20th & 21st Century art music, improvising jazz groove and Afro-Latin percussion artists - and more - to explore the differences and commonalities of their artists approaches.
