Glitch was composed for the combined bands at Lee’s Summit West High School and was performed on April 28th, 2014. The premier performance featured Mr. Bob Harvey (LSR7 band director, trumpet) and Isaiah Carter (LSW ’14, Berklee College of Music ’19, drum set). Because these two excellent jazz players were added, this piece was extended to allow them a chance to improvise.
Glitch is very approachable and gives the students a chance to expand some of their technical abilities without being too challenging. Students enjoy playing music with an added electronic twist!
This performance featured a background track played using Garage Band*, which comes free with every Apple computer. Contact me with any questions about custom set-ups for your performance.
*The Garage Band project file as well as an audio recording only (which can be used in place of the Garage Band project, but without repeats in the music) will be included in the download links.
