The Toy Robot’s Mechanical Heart
for toy piano and percussion
2015
5.5 minutes
Commissioned by the Chamber Cartel (Caleb Herron and Amy O’Dell)
A mechanistic fantasy for toy piano with a compact percussion setup:
glockenspiel, ratchet, bongo, small wood block, two indefinitely pitched small metals.
The toy piano part requires a two-octave range (c’-c”’).
