Gordon's percussion sextet "Timber" was written for the percussion ensembles Slagwerk Den Haag and Mantra Percussion. This work, an evening-length piece for six 2x4s, toured with dance throughout 2009–10 and was premiered in its concert-version in June 2011. The full percussion sextet was released on Cantaloupe Music in 2011, and, in 2014–15, it was heard all around the world, in Walt Disney Concert Hall, performed by So Percussion and members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, in Belgium, by Ictus, and in Scandinavia, by Nordic Seks. Other recent pieces for single-instrument ensembles include "Rushes" for seven bassoons and "Amplified" for four electric guitars, in which he pushes the boundaries of the sonic possibilities of both instruments.
