"SyNc" for Solo Snare Drum by Gene Koshinski

"SyNc" was commissioned by 42 percussionists, led by Tracy Wiggins. "SyNc" has a duel meaning - as in the synchronization of multiple musical ideas (and multiple instruments/implements) and a play on the Spanish word “cinco” meaning “five.” The significance of “five” permeates the piece as nearly all of the musical ideas found in "SyNc" are rooted in this number. This piece “syncs” the wonderful timbral possibilities of the snare drum with sounds that come to life when interacting with it.
