'Splash of Indigo' is a contemporary classical composition by American composer Marty Regan. The piece was composed in 2015 and premiered on March 6, 2016, at the University of Minnesota's Ted Mann Concert Hall. The composition consists of three movements, each with its own unique characteristics. The first movement, titled "Indigo," is characterized by its use of syncopated rhythms and driving percussion. The second movement, "Splash," is more lyrical and features a prominent solo violin line. The final movement, "Echoes," is a slower, more contemplative piece that builds to a powerful climax. Regan's use of instrumentation is also noteworthy in 'Splash of Indigo.' The piece features a large ensemble, including strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and piano. Regan also incorporates electronic elements, such as pre-recorded sounds and live processing of the acoustic instruments. Overall, 'Splash of Indigo' is a dynamic and engaging composition that showcases Regan's skill as a composer. Its use of diverse instrumentation and incorporation of electronic elements make it a unique addition to the contemporary classical repertoire.
