Patricia Brennan’s More Touch Quartet
Patricia Brennan’s More Touch is a quartet with a quite unusual instrumentation: mallet percussion plus effects, percussion, drums, and bass. Essentially, a small percussion ensemble with bass, carving a space where rhythm, color and texture flourish. More Touch is also the title of the debut release of this project on Pyroclastic Records. More Touch features Kim Cass on bass, Marcus Gilmore on drums, Mauricio Herrera on percussion and Patricia Brennan on mallet percussion and effects. The music from More Touch reflects a process of inner search, backwards to Brennan’s roots in Veracruz, Mexico and forwards into the future. A music of fluidity, flexibility, precision, and density. And above all, a music rich in imagined imagery.
