Composing Talking Down the Tiger was one of the rare times where the both the title for the piece and the musical ideas came at the same time. For me, percussion is a metaphorical tiger: possessing all at once ferociousness, beauty, and mystery. Many percussion instruments (and percussionists) exhibit their most interesting and expressive sounds at the pianissimo dynamic register, which is at odds with the type or blustering heavy handed writing often associated with percussion, particularly in a historical context. In this piece I wanted to explore a journey from a wild and ferocious sound world that gradually recedes into a mystical and beautiful sound world lying beneath. It is in one continuous movement with two large divisions, the first marked “Crazy!” and the second marked “Beautiful”. The work involves live electronics in the form of looping. Looping is a fairly standard electroacoustic practice that essentially involves sound capture and repeating playback. I took these basic parameters and expanded them to reflect the compositional logic of the piece. The looper I designed, dubbed the stanilooper, is capable of a number of unusual looping functions that match the pitch and rhythmic material of the percussion. The electronics extend the sound of the percussionist in both space and time, diffusing over multiple speakers. Talking Down the Tiger was commissioned by virtuoso percussionist Ryan Scott, with assistance from the Toronto Arts Council.
