Following a preoccupation with larger-scale works, John Psathas has returned to the composition of extended works for smaller instrumental forces. One Study One Summary is a work for solo percussionist, and having been composed for Pedro Carneiro, takes advantage of the performer’s collection of ‘junk percussion’.
As the title suggests, it is cast in two movements, and while the work exhibits the ‘busy’ motoric textures for which Psathas is well-known, reflective, atmospheric textures predominate throughout.
