Displacements
by Samuel Peruzzolo-Vieira
Displacements is an a beautiful collection of three movements for solo vibraphone; Solitude, Lull, and Sunyata. This sensitive composition reaches for the inner core of experience and explores the eloquence of humanity and the space around it. This music, the challenge and the results are touching and remarkable. Displacements is a new voice for solo vibraphone literature.
