“This work is an exploration of the unique timbral possibilities made available by the use of electronics, amplification, and distortion.”
“The work has strong rock-and-funk-inspired syncopated grooves that give the piece a strong rhythmic fervor.”
“Though the overall sonority of the work is tonal, Wilkinson makes apt use of tritones, intervals and progressions that are regularly employed by film composers and programmatic composers to imply a supernatural or other-worldly phenomenon or character.”
“Invasion of the Tuba Snatchers is an exciting, easily programmable new work that further launches our instrument into newly charted timbral territory.”
