Lucid Mantra by Dustin Schulze is a 14-player percussion ensemble piece inspired by jazz and funk. The piece has a very syncopated texture, featuring a running 16th-note groove throughout, and has a consistent pocket of rhythm that carries the entire piece.
The use of metals overtop the running 16th-note syncopated rhythms creates a dreamy quality, underscored by a rhythm section consisting of piano and drum set.
