On April 2, post-punk duo Xiu Xiu and New York sextet Mantra Percussion premiered a multi-movement work about impending environmental apocalypse as part of the 2015 Ecstatic Music Festival.

The piece is split into four movements, each representing a year of imminent environmental decline: 2050, 2071, 2092 and 2113. Exploring the human response to increasing social, physical and ecological decay and chaos, Extinction Meditation is scored for 14 toms, 7 snare drums, 3 vibraphones, 3 gran cassa bass drums, 14 wood blocks, 7 suspended cymbals and 7 hunting calls.

Founded in 2000 in San Jose, California, Xiu Xiu is currently comprised of songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jamie Stewart and percussionist Shayna Dunkelman. Mantra Percussion includes Joe Bergen, Al Cerulo, Chris Graham, Mike McCurdy, Jude Traxler and Owen Weaver.
