[Purchase at Gumroad](https://thadanderson.gumroad.com/l/withhold) **Withhold** (2018), a piece from my _Lines_ series, is a work for solo snare drum with fixed media playback. It also includes a performance option to add a live percussion quartet of tuned metals. It was composed in 2018 at the request of [Korry Friend](https://korryfriend.wordpress.com/). The _Lines_ pieces are based on a series of rhythmic "duration lines," which are used to create both structure and polyrhythmic interest (see the following page for more details). The playback accompaniment comes from a piece I wrote for tuned metals in 2011 called [_Withheld_](https://thadanderson.com/withheld/). The live quartet parts could be added as an option to include additional musicians in the performance of _Withhold_. My original intention was to have it performed with tuned steel or aluminum pipes, but it could also be performed with an assortment of tuned metals (crotales, glockenspiel, vibraphone, chimes, celeste, bell plates, gongs, etc...). It was composed with the pipe pitches used for David Lang’s second movement of _The So-Called Laws of Nature_ in mind. Korry recorded and released a video performance of _Withhold_, which can be viewed here: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/h2dbiNavpPs" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
