Dal Niente presents Matt Oliphant (horn), Theo Ramsey (violin), and Mabel Kwan (piano), performing a study of silences set in sound.
"...a person who demands attention purely by her being there... processes of development are not unfolded, but instead "conditions of being" are presented in hard-edged sections that cut into each other....figures that did nothing but simply were."
—Gertrude Stein on her book Ida, 1941.
