This is a very important new record.

The brilliant percussionist Robyn Schulkowsky started composing this piece over twenty years ago. Now it's available on CD, in a recording featuring Schulkowsky with drummers Fredy Studer and Joey Baron.

The composition was inspired by the Dresden Codex and, as I understand it, Schulkowsky used the symbols that represent numbers to notate the score for this long piece for percussion trio. While the notation is very clear and specific, the music can be shaped and directed by the players and no two performances of the piece are alike.

The music is spellbinding. If you're wondering how much you want to listen to a percussion and drums trio, my advice is that you find out. Immediately.

There's also this video on YouTube of a whole Armadillo performance, courtesy of Drummerworld.
