"...Those impressions were reinforced in "Chatter" (2005), a short, bustling, aptly named work by the Norwegian composer Knut Vaage. Here six percussionists produced waves of spirited noise that swept through the orchestration, itself rich in athletic figuration , explosions of timbre and humorous touches."
