Program Notes

Kaiju (怪獣, kaijū, from Japanese "strange beast") is a Japanese genre of films featuring giant monsters. The term kaiju (which comes from the Chinese text Classic of Mountains and Seas) can refer to the giant monsters themselves, which are usually depicted attacking major cities and engaging the military, or other kaiju, in battle. "Kaiju" is a programmatic percussion ensemble featuring a solo vibraphone player, 8 percussionists and an electronic soundscape.
