This piece was meant to be a constant, borderline absurd exercise in rhythmic complexity. There’s always a groove there, but the ensemble has to work a little harder than usual to make it happen. It uses a wide array of sounds (glass bottle, steel plank, brake drums, opera gongs, upturned gong, etc.) alongside traditional percussion instruments to weave together a bombastic journey through constantly changing time signatures and rhythmic gymnastics. Bad Timing was written for and premiered by the Choctaw High School percussion class of 2022.
