Dominic Frasca: All my inspiration comes from ensembles. Most notably The Philip Glass Ensemble, Steve Reich and Musician, Anthony Davis and Episteme, The Who, The Astor Piazzolla Quintet, and Led Zeppelin to name a few. Most all of what people would call my extended techniques come from me trying to imitate what I heard an ensemble do weather it be musically such as the stacked rhythms of Philip Glass, the tight cannon of Steve Reich or the stacked meters of Anthony Davis. Or whether it is a textural or orchestration idea. For instance, all the thumb percussion comes from hearing Anthony Davis' ensemble. He would have all these different instruments playing separate meters and a trap set playing a grove behind it. It really inspired me to figure out how to play cross string arpeggios with percussion.
