Darwin’s Walkin’ Fish Quartet (yes that’s true, a fish with legs...)
Scored for vibraphone, marimba, xylophone, windchimes, woodblocks and, of course, cowbells.
Aside from the obvious reference to evolution (but really, all music evolves/devolves in some way or another, whether becoming more/less complex or simply progressing through time) the other reason for naming the quartet after a Darwin fish was that the very idea of a fish with legs, and the type of locomotion that it would be capable of, completely fascinates me. I mean, can you imagine the way that a fish with legs would move??? The combination of walking/swimming/wiggling would be excellent. I think sometimes it would be more of a torsion-inflected style of side-to-side motion, and at other times perhaps it would hop. (These ruminations may well be reflected in the different sections of music found in this quartet.) Commissioned by Fringe Percussion
