Originally commissioned by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra as a Timpani concerto, Planet Damnation is arranged here for solo timpani and wind band by Jim Daughters. Inspired by the timpani's dual nature of percussive power and melodic expressiveness, I aimed to create a piece that allowed the timpani to sing in its unique way, featuring passages where the instrument finds its melodic voice. Drawing influences from martial music and action movie soundtracks, the composition exudes a sense of intensity and overwhelming power, reflecting the challenge and dynamism of the timpani as a solo instrument.
