The Small Stuff by Andrew Richardson utilizes many miscellaneous small percussion instruments, as the name suggests. This piece is a fun, light-hearted, groovy piece that also makes use of a fascinating sonic blend between tenor steel pan and kalimba.
This piece is great for any duo looking to create a varied and well-rounded program that strays away from the usual keyboard or drum duos while also bridging the gap without getting too Avant Garde. The setup is also very portable due to the convenient instrumentation.
