Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"The contemplative 43-minute work unfolds leisurely, basking in deliciously thick, churning harmonies that float, coalesce, and pull apart time and time again. The ensemble's unusual instrumentation fits the music beautifully, with the acoustic instruments producing thick chords-often distinguished by a vibratory reediness-that hang patiently in the air, enfolding silence, microtonal shifts, and internal movement within the harmonies."-Peter Margasak
