'Percussion Studies' by composer Oliver Thurley presents a series of experiments that form delicate sheets of vibrant sound from orchestral percussion instruments.

In 'subcutaneous', homogenous panels of sound are isolated moments suspended in negative spaces. Here, the noises of the listening environment bleed back in.

'sanguine' gradually transmutes one resonant body (bass drum) into another (cymbal) through a convolution process that forms fragile entropic harmonies.

'Percussion Studies' is the push and pull of hovering minimalist textures and reflections of emptiness. A barely-there energy is exuded from these pieces, like a phantom touch on skin.

For ears that appreciate a space between the spectral clouds of Thomas Köner and mysterious sound worlds of Toshiya Tsunoda and Steve Roden.

His work is concerned with quietness, tension and instability: delicate sounds that tremor and demand intimate listening.
