Stumble, Stride, And Stop (2015) by Bloo ROCK Music
published on
A short mallet piece with 3 sections that exemplify the three titular words.
Stumble opens with a driving ostinato that rhythmically and harmonically shifts note by note, gathering momentum and suddenly leaping into Stride.
Stride portrays the joy of movement in a groove, switching times frequently in a pseudo-hemiola.
Stop slows down the tempo considerably and, utilizing bowed vibraphone and piano string harmonics, characterizes the rumination of taking time to think.
