This is a recording of the first movement of Jim David's fantastic "Secure. Contain. Protect. Sonata for Trombone" from my album "For the Beauty of the Earth". I absolutely adore this piece, and I hope you enjoy this rendition, which is accompanied by David M Rodgers on piano. You can find the sheet music for the piece at jamesmdavid.com
PROGRAM NOTES:
The three movements of Jim David's "Secure. Contain. Protect." are inspired by stories from the SCP Foundation, a fictional extra-governmental organization dedicated to securing, containing, and protecting numerous paranormal entities. Created by a thriving online community of writers, each “SCP” is a form of short fiction that describes the physical and mysterious properties of the entity, typically in a dry, bureaucratic tone.
The first movement, SCP-882 “Machine God”, describes a sentient collection of metallic gears that compels humans to add more and more components to its mass. Anyone near the entity will experience auditory hallucinations of ticking, grinding, and clicking sounds that gradually increase in intensity. The object is depicted musically as a persistent ostinato built by layer upon layer of polyrhythms and quick darting motives.
