    I searched "Clocks in Motion" because I wanted to watch a clip about Einstein's theory of special relativity. Ended up here, happily. Subbed, this music is beautiful.

    A perfect example of how even the simplest parts in a piece can make a difference: at 3:07 when the marimba 3 part enters with the low end eighth notes is probably my favorite part and every other time when she does that. Gives me goosebumps

      There are two versions of this piece, one of the way they're playing it with the third marimba. And the second version is just two vibs and marimbas. If you choose to buy it, then you get both versions no matter what!

      Swampfire after watching this version and Marc Mellon’s version(he plays with the 4player part) there is no difference in terms of different rhythms for each part. The bass marimba is added for timing and consistency.

      She probably is the most important person though. She accents the notes and provides the metronome. I'm sure no matter how hard they tried, they would mess up at least once without her part. I understand the feeling though. I've been that person multiple times.

Writing for percussion is something that has been challenging for me as everything sound good and I want to have a smorgas board of sound to work with. I like that you limit yourself to marimbas and vibes and develop your piece using limited instrumentation. Well done :)

    My favorite nuance is the theme from 5:20-6:18ish where the feel is 6/8, and the shift at like 6:21 where the marimba octave theme shifts from 6/8 to 3/4.
    edit: In a live performance (or with nice speakers) the bass marimba comes in the second measure, and really underlines the shift
