about

In this piece I wanted to use the pandeiro in a less traditional sense. Particularly, I was interested in incorporating rhythms that might be used with tabla or any hand drum in which fast rhythms could be executed. This was mostly possible due to the talents of Sergio Krakowski. When I showed him the part, he rose to the occasion and worked out these rhythms to perform them convincingly on the pandeiro, as heard in the opening measures and beyond. The guitar part serves to both present the tune and also provide an ostinato section for a pandeiro solo. The title is somewhat tongue-in-cheek as it refers to the fact that the guitar part crosses the bar line at several points. Phrases are displaced rhythmically, changing the listener’s perspective on the line itself.
