With your pledge, we will complete what has been a two year process. This process included: tons of meetings, countless rehearsals, lots of baking, the world premiere of the piece on November 2nd in Youngstown and the final preparation for the recording.

YPC would like to share this music with as many people as possible. The music has taken us on a great journey and through its gorgeous melodies, world rhythms, interesting time signatures, and use of found instruments we think you are going to love this CD!

Here is a little more about the music. It is a twelve movement piece written for fifteen percussionists. The piece draws on influences from around the globe including Brazilian, African, and the Middle East while also including a melodic and harmonic vocabulary based on our own American Jazz traditions. There are over 200 percussion instruments used in the piece. Ranging from the traditional like; marimbas, vibraphones and glockenspiels to all kinds of hand drums played from around the world.
