For
percussion ensemble (4
players). Slip-stream was
composed for Ensemble
Bash. The vibraphone is
the protagonist, opening
the work with a melodic
idea which serves as a
refrain. Elsewhere, the
glockenspiel and
vibraphone are held
together in a ghostly
dance to the
accompaniment of the
gentle wash of three
suspended cymbals.
