Phillip Neil Martin 's Human Drum for three voices (SSA). Duration: 3 minutes Composed: 2006 Also published as part of UYMP's Songspin Songbook, ISMN M 57036 603 3. Human Drum was a collaboration with the Juice Vocal Ensemble. The piece began in the recording studio where I recorded Juice singing notated fragments I’d popped together and also their own improvisations. I then edited and cut up all the audio into very tiny fragments in a myriad of ways to make a short rhythm-based electronic 3 part vocal piece. This forms part of my larger work Voices of the Asylum for voices, human beatbox, electronics, fashion and space. The final track bares very little resemblance to theoriginal recording studio session. Several weeks after I had finished Human Drum Juice asked me to transcribe the audio so they could sing the piece live (which wasn’t easy to do after all the cutting and processing!), therefore coming full circle! There are now two versions of Human Drum , the studio electronic track and the ‘live’ notated version. Human Drum is dedicated to the Juice Vocal Ensemble with affection. First performed by Juice Vocal Ensemble on 3rd May 2007 at York Spring Festival, Sir Jack Lyons Concert Hall, University of York.

A lively piano accompaniment with optional percussion and body percussion adds energy to this spirited Scottish folk song. The lyrics are filled with nonsense and fun making a humorous choice for programming. It's a terrific piece to teach rhythm and dynamic contrast, and an opportunity to delve into some Scottish folklore, too.

Originating from the busking scene in cities across the nation in the 1980s, street “bucket” drumming has become inseparable from the modern day music teacher catalog due to its reliance on found materials, overabundance of plastic and coolness factor. Paired with choir, this arrangement seamlessly blends the two disciplines into a rock anthem with style!
