Isotope Duo: At the edge of the mind

Phil Pierick, saxophones
Kyle Flens, percussion

This program is a wish list of dynamic compositions for saxophone and percussion. Phil and Kyle sat down and made a list of music for percussion and saxophone that they had always wanted to play, but had never had a chance. They whittled the long list down to four existing works. Chicago composer David Clay Mettens got in on the fun, writing a piece he had always wanted to compose. And thus, Isotope Duo and David Clay Mettens’ At the edge of the mind were born. We’re excited to share this inaugural show with you!
