Loose Id (2006)

Brass Ensemble and Drumset

Premiere: December 2006, SoundINN Brass, Johann Moesenbichler, cond.

Id:"In Freud's theory, the source of instinctual energy, which works on the pleasure principle."

This is a new arrangement of the original brass quintet version.

This piece is an abstract realization in sound of the energy of the Id. Unleashed, without the counterbalance of Ego or Superego, the Id generates unbridled instinctual energy, resulting in an orgiastic frenzy. Distinct from a state of dementia, this piece represents a thoroughly lucid and intentional rampage of self-indulgence.

Scored for 4 Bb Trumpets, 2 Horns in F, 4 Trombones, Tuba, Drumset
