IN THE MUD AT TOAD SUCK PARK
This piece was inspired by a combination of elements – a conference trip with composer friends through Toad Suck Park near Conway, Arkansas, and the music of progressive rock trio, Primus. Rhythms contained in the work are based upon rhythmic figures found in some of my favorite Primus songs, and influenced by rhythms of a van-load of composers traveling over bumpy terrain in search of beer in a dry county.
