Description
A “gyre” is a large circular current in the ocean. There are five known gyres on Earth, hence, The Sixth Gyre. The piece features both moments of minimalist-like chordal padding, and passages that involve the performers moving in a circular motion, both of which effectively add to the visualization the title describes. The Sixth Gyre builds itself around two vertically staged marimbas that all eight performers play. Throughout the piece, performers move between the two marimbas and other keyboard and battery instruments, adding to the current-like motion.
