Work Overview
There were two initial points of inspiration behind the
composition of this piece. Firstly, I was interested in writing a
work that made use of a constant pulse. This pulse continues
throughout most of the composition, though at different speeds
for different sections. Hence the "pulse" in the title.
Secondly, the four instrumentalists either work together as a
team, or else in opposition. Just as a pair of magnets attract or
repulse one another, so the musicians come together or move
apart. This particularly applies to the pianists working in
opposition to the percussionists.
Pulse Magnet contains three sections. The opening and
closing sections are energetic in character, relentlessly
bubbling or pounding along. The middle section is more quiet and
reserved in tone.
