Ocho Por Radio (Eight for the Radio), is a piece by Mexican 20th Century composer Silvestre Revueltas. As our director would say, " Evidently the players had too much tequila the night before the performance."
This is supposed to sound awkward and crazy, sort of alluding to Mexican mariachi music, but constantly changing into strange meters not constant. We are not doing a bad job playing, this is actually what it is supposed to sound like.
I am on percussion.
The ensemble:
Clarinet in Bb
Bassoon
Trumpet in A
Percussion: Maracas, Tom Tom, Cymbal (Me)
2 Violins
Cello
Contrabass

Hehe! ^o^ That was fun and goofy- though I don't usually like performing music like this because it's hard to show the difference between playing a piece that's supposed to sound unprepared and just plain being unprepared. I don't mean this as a dig at you or the ensemble, but I mean to say I know where you're coming from when you said "We are not doing a bad job playing, this is actually what it is supposed to sound like." It's a fault of the composer when the performers have to say something like that.
