Fun Music with Cups, Coffee Break

Coffee Break (2013)............Mark Ford/Ewelina Bernacka (b. 1958)/(b. 1983)
Music is everywhere and of course coffee has rhythm! After many visits to numerous coffee shops and improvising with cups, we decided to write a composition that brings fun, energy and theatre to the concert stage. Coffee Break is like "Head Talk" on caffeine!! Have fun!

Fantastic performance! Hard to believe those cups lasted that long.

[@sequoialove8307]

Brilliant I love this .. I could imagine you all going into some busy coffee shop and busting this out in the general public.

[@moet805]

Ahhh! Im gonna be performing this in college as a freshman in February! Thanks for recording this, it gives me a great feel for what I am doing!

[@sandelion415]

My journey down a comedic music rabbit hole continues and I'm happy this was a gem along the trail

[@frankyfernandes6283]

Grew up making music like this when I had no instruments and was 6. Steel plates, coins, pencils, desks, tables, suitcases and bronze vessels. It is so nice to watch you guys

[@oklahomaisok]

My inner child is entertained….would sit down at the kitchen table with a spoon tapping on glasses and cups and everything else within my reach….

[@CleanPhilWanted]

I'd love to see this in an actual coffee shop

[@jarod997]

Excellent job on the mic'ing for this recording - everything is very clear.

I have always been fascinated by creative percussion. For someone who drinks mochas often from Starbucks, I got a good chuckle out of this. Mark & Ewelina, thanks for sending me the link! -Jay Daniels, Stuarts Draft, VA

[@sydneyteagarden2035]

As the only female percussionist with three other guys in my Adv. Level band, lemme tell you that this is decently accurate... I feel slightly out of my league, but I contribute what I can and we all enjoy ourselves immensely 😂

[@honeybsweet4229]

How did I get this deep in the KZbin rabbit hole

[@comicsans7437]

I go to music school, this seems like something we would totally do if we went for coffee lol.

[@edsherrod5216]

I know this was a long time ago, but really great job! Hope some of the folks who performed this piece continue to look at the updates.

[@richardlindquist709]

“Sounds pretty good, what drum line are you watching?” “Ummm....”

[@elifyanar7902]

"A highly caffeinated one, exactly."

[@ottotater2787]

@@elifyanar7902 go to most any high school in America and you'll find dozens of kids that can individually blow this whole group out of the water.

[@maxdoubt5219]
