In Ash Fure's Feed Forward for large ensemble, sharp reports from the percussion at first punctuate and divide discrete sections of sonic material played by the rest of the ensemble. Over the course of the work, these divisions are gradually resisted, breached and finally overwhelmed by a spreading miasma of sound.

Scored for 11 players, Feed Forward was commissioned by the Impuls International Composition Festival for Klangforum Wien for premiere at the 2015 Impuls Festival. It exploits a broad range of extended performance techniques including quarter tones, multiphonics in the winds and contrabass, and more unusual effects, all explained in concise performance notes including links to further resources for the player.

This score (EP 68742) is available as part of the Peters Contemporary Library. The performance materials are available for hire.
