SYNOPSIS:

Drum. What does it mean to you?

Drums could mean different things to different people - it could be a tool to vent your frustrations with, an instrument through which you express your emotions or it could be like a lover, something that you cannot live without. The sound of the drums brings about different emotions. To some, it is happiness or excitement while to others, it could invoke feelings of sadness or anger.

As individuals, we constantly strive to find our paths or rhythm in life, we try to blend those paths in hope of finding happiness, love and acceptance. Often these experiences, both happy and sad, are chaotic. But these moments ultimately do define us. Does the sound of drums echo these emotions within you?

'Chaos in Unison' is an interpretation of the different journeys a group of individuals experience as they attempt to define themselves, both alone and together. In this piece, we explore the intricate relationship between the drummer and the drum. For the drummers, it is not an easy task to express themselves through the drums because it does not produce melodies. However, the most difficult task while performing is to be themselves.

Let us embark on this journey in search of the meaning of drums and their sound. Can you hear what they are saying?
