Description
Conceptually, CAT 5 is based both on the life cycle of hurricanes, and musical elements focused in five. With five performers setup around a shared concert bass drum, cyclical motives are passed around, often in counterclockwise motion (the direction a hurricane spins), while adhering to metric parameters or rhythmic groupings based in patterns of five.
