Programme Note

Like much of the percussion repertoire, time (rhythm) takes center stage as the primary compositional element, namely though various additive procedures. These additive procedures, however, are clouded, or actually they're "colored," by Nico's enormous and infectious personality, as is the pitch material, orchestration, and form.
