Amercian Composers Forum BandQuest||Composer Alex Shapiro's piece Paper Cut is reminiscent of a movie soundtrack to which the musicians can imagine their own dramatic scene. The piece asks the performers to play paper like a percussion instrument ripping, tearing, tapping and crumpling along with the electronic track even before they pick up their instruments to play along. A very creative and evocative work sure to stir the imagination of players and audience alike. Free interdisciplinary curriculum for the piece is available for download at http://www.BandQuest.org.||To perform the piece, you'll need an audio system capable of playing the prerecorded audio tracks from a laptop computer via a small digital audio interface connected to an audio mixer. Download information is provided in the printed piece. (Grade 3)
