For xylophone and electronic sounds, includes score and m4a file. Driving, syncopated rhythms with an impressive electronic accompaniment make Steve Kornicki's Xylo Motion a great recital piece for the college student or professional. A two-mallet tour de force, Xylo Motion will challenge the player, but not the audience who will enjoy the sounds and energy that it creates. Duration: 7' 45".

Review from Percussive Notes:
Written for xylophone soloist with pre-recorded electronic sound accompaniment, “Xylo Motion” is a “tour-de-force” for the advanced performer. The electronic sound accompaniment melds so comfortably with the xylophone solo that the listener could possibly forget that there is an accompaniment. The work is approximately eight minutes in length and technically challenges the two-mallet performer with highly arpeggiated patterns, double stops at various intervallic distances, and syncopated rhythmic patterns. It is indeed refreshing to see a challenging, two-mallet piece added to the repertoire.
