Description

Showboating makes use of many cliché Balkan musical traits, not least it’s shifting use of the 7/8 time signature. Due to all things Covid-19 related this piece was written to challenge students to record their part remotely to a 7/8 click track. Hence, no rall's or accel's just the proverbial ‘**** off a shovel constant driving pulse.

Jock McKenzie
