 This work integrates several very opposite characters trying to describe the feelings of the composer confronted with the mixture of two really different cultures. It starts in an atmosphere influenced by Zen. One can also recognize rhythms from the Japanese drums (wadaiko) as well as binary rhythms influenced by the occident.
Bass drum, four toms, two bongos.

"This is a musically interesting and technically challenging multiple-percussion solo with simple instrumentation". Percussive Notes

Light work for xylophone (or marimba) intended for the intermediate student or being able to serve as encore at the end of recital. (Lasted: approximately 2 ' 30).
In Japan a "utage", it is a group of friends that meets to party. This evening there everything is allowed, we sing and dance, we enjoy ourselves there.
In this work I wanted to tell a "utage": we sing it a Japanese song, followed by a fast, stressed and becoming dance, in the drunkenness of the feast, completely disrupted.
It is a  funny solo, to play without moderation!
