Rock Talk explores a lineage of contemporary piano-percussion music in its most elemental form. The program traces the evolution of rhythmic and timbral innovation from Steve Reich through John Psathas to a new generation of Canadian composers (Monica Pearce, Harry Stafylakis, and Carmen Braden). The new Canadian works, composed especially for SHHH!!, emphasize colour, gesture, and virtuosic rhythmic propulsion.Featuring Zac Pulak, percussion; Edana Higham, piano

Steve Reich: Piano & Marimba Phase (1967)
Monica Pearce: leather (2018)
