Interlocking Textures - (excerpts)

Suite Mundial, Op. 10: No. 7, Balinesa: El Canto de los changos - (excerpt)

Music that operates as debris, coalescing, floating by, snagging on itself, assembling, gathering, dispersing, and eventually receding. Time is not an arrow - locations are in flux, and the music never stands still. Featuring Aron Kallay, Genevieve Feiwen Lee & Vicki Ray.
