The next to last work from Friday's Alarm Will Sound concert...
The group played an arrangement of a work by Mochipet. Mochipet's MySpace page indicates this is a Daly City, CA resident who creates club, emo, and grindcore. I'd characterize the work as Don Ellis updated to the 21st century meets the Stanford Band drum section. Given that I like Don Ellis, we are in the 21st century, and my wife is a Stanford Band drum section alumna, that would be a good thing. But it was right on the edge of too wacky, even if a shiny trash can does make an excellent percussion instrument.
I'm listening to this now on iMeem; the Don Ellis resemblance appears to be an artifact of Alarm Will Sound rather than the original. (Mochipet Amazon MP3 album here).
other mochipet tracks: justintimberlakecore, mochipet spankrock, do geese see god, beijing operacore.
