about

"Battle Hymn of the Public, Part 1 is a series of fifteen pieces for percussion and other instruments, including instructions for field recordings which can also be used as listening exercises.

Each of the pieces is between two and five minutes long. For performance, a combination of instrumental pieces and field recordings should be prepared. In general, the smaller the instrumentarium the better."

All music composed, improvised and performed by Kevin Sims using percussion, field recordings, flutes and electronics.

The mallet percussionist and improviser's solo debut is flush with nostalgic melodies and stirring dissonances—a rich, experimental universe well worth exploring. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 15, 2021
