An intense ride from start to finish, Bandersnatch was originally premiered as part of the Electronic Wonderland project. The Bandersnatch is mentioned in the poem “The Jabberwocky” from Lewis Carrol’s “Through the Looking Glass”. This chart has a very cinematic vibe, telling the story of tracking and confronting the Bandersnatch. Featuring various groupings of fifteen beats, intense low register riffs, and opportunities for trumpet electronics and guitar effects, Bandersnatch is a melodically driven, rhythmically challenging experience and great closer for an experienced band.
