"Full Ride" is a jazz percussion octet that I composed for the Millikin University Percussion Ensemble in the Spring of 2025. The comfortable grooves found within the chaos of the piece’s unbalanced 7/8 time signature are designed to evoke feelings of rapid travel through a multimodal transit system. One section may feel like a hurried taxi ride during rush hour, while another may be more akin to a relaxing train ride home. All of these unique ideas combine into one continuous auditory journey through an imaginary city.
