Description
Duration: 7'00"
“Gutterflys” for percussion quartet by JaRon Brown is a unique musical soundscape that depicts the somewhat crippling feeling of experiencing performance anxiety. Derived from the expression of “having butterflies in the stomach,” this composition explores the jittery quirkiness and the ambivalent essence of being nervous. This piece flutters amongst the dread of impending unsettling anxiousness in a peculiar hocket driven musical illustration.
