Comparisons
Zack Pentecost's composition, Passage is different than the other student composers that Transient Canvas presented. Dr. Pentecost's piece was a funky, excited upbeat 80's disco vibe. While another composer presented a piece just as amazing about the empty deep sea with occasional whale noises. This is different to Zack's work because its played much quieter and a slower tempo. This piece would be great for meditation while Zacks piece could be listened to while running or moving around a lot.

Observations
Passage (2017)

Instruments: Marimba and bass Clarinet

Is funky, Jazzy, with excitable energy. The tempo is fast and the over all feeling is happy. Its about a 6:00 minute song.
