ABOUT THE PIECE:

Everything Now Right Now is a piece for drum set and track featuring high-energy, driving rhythms and a free-wheeling, synth-soaked track. Moving in lock-step with the drums, the track becomes a kind of super-drum, highlighting every sound in the kit as if the kit itself triggers the track’s bombastic frenzy. After a careening opening section, full of jump-cuts and jagged rhythms the track abruptly shifts to an ominous drone while the drummer adds a layer of improvised cymbal sounds. As we are lulled into an ambient haze of cymbals and shifting synth-pads, the music suddenly turns back to material reminiscent of the opening. The quick change leads to few brief missteps, but the drummer soon locks in with a series of increasingly disjunct grooves, driving the music to a bombastic finish.
