| Publisher Details :
Tapspace Publications is a publishing company specializing in creative percussion music. In 1998 we became established as a business in the USA, and our niche has focused on advanced rudimental percussion music, concert percussion solos, and ensembles. Our headquarters are stationed in Portland, Oregon. Our publications are available for purchase worldwide from our website or from select retailers. In 2003 Tapspace continued on its course of creative innovation with the release of our marching battery percussion sample library, VIRTUAL DRUMLINE. Revolutionizing the way marching percussion arrangers can now write and hear accurate playback of their work, we are dedicated to providing the best in percussion sample technology in addition to our publications. Released in Spring of 2005, Virtual Drumline 2 has taken this revolution to a completely new level. With authors such as Murray Gusseck, Jim Casella, Gifford Howarth, Mike McIntosh, Colin McNutt, Jim Ancona, Jeff Queen, Nick Angelis, David Reeves, Chip Webster, Jesse Monkman, Tyler Dempsey, and Robert Lopez, we continue to publish some of the most innovative music written for the percussion world. Our works have been performed by members of such renown ensembles as The Santa Clara Vanguard, Blast!, The Star of Indiana, The New England Conservatory, and The Concord Blue Devils. This makes Tapspace a premier source of modern drumline and percussion music and a growing resource for today's most creative percussion literature. |

| Programme Notes / Performance Details :Escape Artist takes a cross-section of the concepts in the other ensembles in this collection and fuses them together. This piece blends the need for trap tables, multipercussion setups, and mallet changes with syncopated, interlocking rhythms, accessory instrument acumen, and overall ensemble awareness. And beyond that, Escape Artist throws in a few final things to work on. [------------] So much of what we do as percussionists boils down to our ability to play various subdivided rhythms and accent patterns. Every variation of two- and three-note, single-beat 16th-note patterns are presented here. Starting at ms. 5, all four three-note 16th-note patterns are placed together. This focus on rhythm and timing will help your students establish a better sense of pulse and rhythmic accuracy. [-------------] The best part about Escape Artist is that it’s kinda funky! It was a lot of fun to write and even more fun to put together and play. And not only is it fun for students, but audiences enjoy it as well. It will provide your students one more chance to work on some of the fundamental concepts presented in this collection while introducing some new concepts...all while having a good time! | |||||||||||||
