Matthew, who suggested I add this piece to my website, says this about Merlin:
It's really something that every percussion player should listen to, just to hear how crazy capable a marimba really can be!
I agree with his assessment.
The first time I heard Merlin was a performance by Nancy Zeltsman in Flagstaff, Arizona. I was amazed by both the composition and her incredible performance of it.
Matthew recommends listening to the recording of Merlin by Greg Giannascoli, that is, if you can find it.
The piece was written for William Moersch.

I believe that the use of noise to make music will continue and increase until we reach a music produced through the aid of electrical instuments.
