Augusta read thomas : Qì (2017)For four percussionistsDuration: c. 5 minutesFormat: 28-page A4 saddle stitched score & 4 A4 saddle stitched partsAvailable on CD, NI6355“Qì has Thomas in fun-and-games mode full-on as the music tears off at dizzying speed without pause through the work's five densely packed minutes. Thomas's underlying image here is the notion of four interlocking gears, the players having to mesh and dovetail with the absolute precision of well-oiled gears and cogs whirring away in a fine Swiss watch.” Paul Pellay
