II
DANCE
- Drum Muted with towel in center.
- On towel, 1 idiophone per player (player's choice)

1. Begin by playing 16th notes on head in unison as a group. Fast, but controlled and comfortable.

2. Using supplied materials, construct an improvisation in the groove structure of the movement.
- 1 player begins improvising first, then 1 more joins, then all 3 improvise.
- Maximize dynamic use and range.

3. A "signal rhythm" performed by a pre-determined performer will signal the end of the movement.
- If any resonant metal instruments are being used, lift and roll in unison / crescendo to end of mvmt.

III
BREATHE
- Perform with hands
- Unmuted drum - very resonant.

1. Each player play individual attacks as they breathe out

(about 45 seconds - 1 minute)

2. Begin to play un-even rolls, crescendo/dimmuendo or increase / decrease density with breath in and out
(1 minute - 1.5 minutes)

3. Find a moment where roll peak activity comes together. Stay together as a group, long roll to end of
piece. Dimmuendo to end of piece.
(1.5 minutes - 2.5 minutes)
