Description

Catching Shadows (2013) is a marimba duo commissioned by Michael Burritt, professor of percussion at Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. The piece was premiered by Michael and I at the 2013 Rochester Fringe Festival.

Michael and I have become good friends and collaborators over the years, and on a recent road trip to a gig, he said, “I’m in charge of the tunes!”

Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect!

He plugged in his iPod, and the first thing to play: Radiohead, then Dave Matthews, then Earth, Wind & Fire. That’s when I discovered something cool about Mike: he’s as much a rock musician as a classical musician. It just so happens he plays marimba. Sometimes, I feel the same way.

With Catching Shadows, I thought about our road trip and decided to write a rock tune inspired by Mike’s playlist.
