The Hunt

The Hunt was composed as a compulsory work for the top class untuned during the Open Dutch Percussion Championships 2023.

Through the bushes.. running across meadows.. along the edge of the forest.. Target in sight! Aim.. miss! In “The Hunt” we follow a group of fanatic primitive hunters through the wilderness. Everything seems to be going well, until the hunter himself suddenly becomes the prey.
