Revolving Twins
“Revolving Twins”, Pilnick notes, “is based on a concept I learned at the Alder. In space, there are stars that revolve around each other. Due to the nature and energy of these stars, they merge together and eventually explode! When developing this song, I wanted the listener to feel like they were spinning around another star. This is achieved with a linear looping bass figure, contrapuntal melodies between groups of two instruments and a drum concept that utilizes the colors of the cymbals. All of these melodic sounds continue to revolve around each other throughout the movement just as the two stars do in space.”
