Pulse Games
In June 2009, Sir Harrison Birtwistle led a team of three percussionists and three composers, working with 30 young people, ‘non-musicians’ from the local area.
They looked at the concept of pulse and time – something that Birtwistle has explored throughout his career and something that was highlighted in the 2009 Aldeburgh Festival event Harrison’s Clocks.
