Everything Related to the Steelpan Instrument and Music
“Synesthesia Suite” - Works for Steel Pan
Billed as “Synesthesia Suite” - Works for Steel Pan with jazz combo and chamber orchestra - Andy Akiho successfully delivered a collection of music that redefined the accepted norm and conventional thinking of not only music for the steelpan instrument, but more importantly the context in which the instrument is viewed and used. By incorporating a series of techniques Andy was able to coax tones and responses from the instrument that lead, complimented or supported the accompanying performers as desired.

Great idea but lower percussion (set, bass drum etc) completely cover all the string, woodwinds and brass and even the pan. But perhaps that's what was intended. A composition less bombastic would allow greater variation in sound levels and ensemble presence. By all means continue to experiment.

Within the next ten years if not before, the steel drum would be considered a conventional instrument.
