Square One by Joey Eng | Performance by Alex Quitin

Square One is a virtuosic contemporary marimba solo composed by Joey Eng and performed by Alex Quitin. A powerful modern marimba composition for solo percussion, the piece explores rhythmic repetition, endurance, and the psychological experience of returning “back to square one.” Square One is built upon a singular rhythmic pattern that opens the piece and recurs throughout in various transformations. The performer and audience are repeatedly brought back to the starting point — musically and emotionally. The piece is based on the words: “Have I made any progress in my journey at all? If I look back, how far have I actually walked? Or have I always been circling — Tracing the edges and corners of square one.” — Joey Eng → Sheet music for Square One (hard copy): https://www.editionsvitzer.com/catalo... 🎵 Composition: Joey Eng 🥁 Performance: Alex Quitin 📀 Label: Svitzer Music 📖 Publisher: Edition Svitzer 🎬 Production: Roschkov Media More Marimba Music by Joey Eng MARIMBA SOLO 2025 Limited Edition Joey Eng: Blossom Saudade Square One The Narrows Three Postludes: No. 1 – Yoanna No. 2 – When the Leaves Turn No. 3 – One of Many Afternoons → Sheet music: https://www.editionsvitzer.com/catalo...
