Program Notes
Mako is titled after the short-fin mako shark and is intended to evoke the imagery of the incredibly quick, sleek, hydrodynamic nature of this oceanic apex predator. The spirit of the piece conjures elements of tribal drumming via primal, relentless driving rhythms that pass quickly between performers, coupled with a ritualistic and powerful groove. Mako was written for and dedicated to the Sympatico Percussion Group and premiered at their 2021 PASIC Showcase Concert. – Susan Powell[1]
