Individuate by Darian Donovan Thomas, Sō Percussion, Bergamot Quartet, Shelby Blezinger-McCay, Kasey Blezinger
"As we individuate, we connect and identify with the entire human family." - Carl Jung
Individuate was commissioned through the Sō Percussion New Work Development Program by Sō Percussion and Bergamot Quartet. It is composed in a way that allows any instrumentalist to perform the piece, and the piece can also be performed by groups of multiples of four players. On this album, there are three versions - by Sō Percussion, by Bergamot Quartet, and by Sō Percussion and Bergamot together.
Kid Gunner Brother and Stephon Clark were both written for the Sō Percussion Summer Institute.
This recording was supported with funds from the Alice M. Ditson Fund of Columbia University.
