A wave and waves by Michael Pisaro
For one hundred percussion instruments.

The first live performance of 'A wave and waves' by Michael Pisaro (USA) for 100 percussionists, presented by Speak Percussion and Melbourne Festival 2015.
In this rare, deep listening experience the audience sits among the performers to experience the music as if part of an ocean of sound. Colossal percussive waves are created by layers of imperceptibly soft sounds— sandpaper on stone, seeds falling on glass, bowed bells—forming a textural landscape bristling with detail.

A wave and waves is in two parts. The first part is a single wave, lasting 35’00” (sounds begin at 1:00) and the second part is 100 (smaller) waves, having the same total duration. There is a silence of 4 minutes between the two parts. All sounds are extremely soft. They are like single grains of sand (or molecules of water), which, by being combined with other like sounds form larger patterns and collections.
