CaDance for two percussionists: each
Composer: Pape Andy

CaDance (ka-dans) is an intentional misspelling of the term "cadence", meaning the drum ostinato which accompanies a marching band. Here, the two drummers have ostinatos of different lengths (50 and 49 eighth notes respectively) and are constantly changing phase with respect to each other. Each of the drummers is also playing in two different meters (4/8+5/8 and 3/8+7/8) so it is up to the listener to detern-dne what (if any) the meter is and where (if any) the downbeat is. Towards the end of the piece (second line of 110"), the players are directed to play on their thighs. At fu-st it will sound as is the pulse has disappeared, instead of actually being muted.
