Percussion !
*when sticks are not specified, then choose the ones based on best balance with general sound and dynamics context.
Percussion list:!
Large Wuhan 100 cm (wind) gong!
Small gong !
Suspended cymbal

• Large gong !
most preferred is Wuhan type 100 cm (40'') of gong (wind gong type would be best) because of the specific kind of
sonority required (even the quite exact frequency produced with the rubber stick)
specific sticks for the large gong:
1. e-gong wand
2. Konklang 15 mm rubber stick TTE Konklang Vario overtone handle
3. Konklang 50 mm rubber stick with TTE Konklang Vario overtone handle
4. bass drum stick for large gong
!
*the composer can provide the rubber sticks, so please contact the composer
• Small gong
would be good to play with two harder sticks

DYNAMIC LOGIC: lower staff towards pianissimo, higher forte-fortissimo
LEGATOS: try to achieve as tied, sof and plastic movement as possible
(LEGATOS CAN BE CHANGED AS MORE CONVINIENT).
The idea of these fast glissandos are, that they would be as waves –
more dynamic at their high breaking point, lower dynamic as falling back.

The player tongues as if rapidly repeating the word
“doodle” (without vocalizing).
The effect is much less abrasive than flutter tongue
Doodle tongue faster slow down
Switch between different timbres
trying to have different sound in each bar
in adequation with other players (I have to test this a bit... :) )
Until bar 19.
