In music, we don't tend to talk about things; we're too concerned about the meaning of the story, about the dynamics of the performance, the reception, the syntax, the gesture, the movement.

We're too concerned about how a sound got here, where it came from, how it was made, where it's going and why. We pretend that music is a language. Greenwald asks us to get busy with things. About a minute's worth of material becomes a cycle of seven works, performed in full for the first time on this album by Austin Wulliman, Ensemble Pamplemousse, Leipzig's Contemporary Insights Ensemble, and the formation Wild Up.

Whatever happens here, it happens again and again, here and there, uniting the cycle under an unstable trajectory of transcendence.
