Bitbyte Animalo Fyfe-reeli is an avant-garde experimental work that explores unconventional sonorities and complex rhythmic subdivisions. It pushes the performer to balance highly disjointed melodic fragments with sudden dynamic shifts.
The performer must master the exact placement of complex rhythmic groupings against a static pulse.
Comparable difficulty and character — good candidates for what to learn next.
