Attraction Short Version by Emmanuel Sejourne

Attraction Short Version by Emmanuel Séjourné is a captivating solo percussion piece that showcases the expressive capabilities of the marimba and vibraphone. Designed for advanced performers, this composition offers a condensed yet impactful exploration of rhythm, melody, and timbre.

Originally part of Séjourné’s larger work, this abridged version focuses on the interplay between the marimba and vibraphone, accompanied by a pre-recorded tape. The piece unfolds over approximately 2 minutes and 47 seconds, demanding precise coordination and dynamic control from the performer. The fusion of live percussion with electronic accompaniment creates a rich, immersive soundscape that challenges and engages both the performer and the audience.

Technically, the piece requires a 5-octave marimba and a vibraphone, with the performer navigating intricate passages that highlight the lyrical and percussive qualities of both instruments. The integration of the tape adds an additional layer of complexity, necessitating careful synchronization and interpretative sensitivity.

Ideal for recitals, competitions, and advanced study, Attraction Short Version serves as both a showcase of technical prowess and a study in musical expression. Its concise format makes it a versatile addition to a percussionist’s repertoire, offering opportunities for artistic exploration within a manageable timeframe.
