When Worlds Collide

In When Worlds Collide, the multifaceted Rick Dior creates a mash-up of numerous cultures and musical styles. The result is a tour de force in three movements: Ethnic Jazz Minimalism; Afro-Brazil/European Bombast and Afro-Cuban/Rudimental Fusion. At its core, When Worlds Collide is a groove-based composition containing several aspects of the world music genre. Improvisation also plays a large role throughout the piece which can be configured to feature one or more soloists. The parts in this composition vary in skill level from rather basic to quite advanced. It can be treated as a solo feature for a talented drum set player or as a feature for the director performing on vibraphone and drum set. There's plenty of room to make it your own and tailor it to the strengths of your own group!
