20) Stomp

Stomp.

Stomp is all about rhythm, which is common to all cultures.  Therefore, it doesn't matter whether, the listener prefers Jazz, Classical, Dance or Pop, Stomp should still appeal to all ages and people.

Whilst researching Stomp, I saw a quote “Everyone knows rhythm, if only from the beating of their own heart – it is the basis of all music.”  After seeing this, I decided I was going to make my piece very simple, melodically, but try and create quite complex rhythms. 
“Stomp is a group of people, with a very strong personalities, who work together using simple building blocks to create something complex, something everyone can identify with: everyone has, at some time, to engage in group activity, whether they like or know the people they are working with or not.  It's the little idiosyncrasies, the differences between people, and the games of upmanship, that ensue, which define the group dynamic” (Stomp: 2010)
