Frida Kahlo's Tweetstorm by Ben Wahlund - Performed by Anthony Di Sanza

Frida Kahlo’s Tweetstorm is composed as a suite for solo marimba in six connected movements. These are loosely programmatic in nature and marginally influenced by the artwork of Frida Kahlo (1907-1954). While she clearly has not posted on Twitter, this piece does put to song how I imagine she might perceive living in this digital age. The composition was commissioned by and composed for Anthony DiSanza, Professor of Percussion at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Movements: Broken Column / Off-Brand Vape Pens My Dress Hangs There / Overnight Activisits Viva la Vida, Watermellons / Mr. Zuckerberg's Bubble Tea Interlude Without Hope / Glossolalia Moses, 1945 / Crypto-Bacchanalia Epilogue: Self Portrait with Monkey Contact Ben Wahlund to purchase the score: bwahlund@niu.edu
