New music, avante experimental classical from Canada. Chamber instruments played very untraditionally. Bursts and blurts, seemingly random phrases. Sparse and quiet at times. Very academic.

1) very quiet start, builds up, layers of bass strings, fall away then re-appear, building
2) pitzicatto bas and blurps of other instruments
3) bowing, strings, very sparse/quiet toward end
4) percussive feel
5) mix of bass, percussion, sparse
6) lots of bass bowing, slow and sparse feel
7) very sparse, quiet
8) brief conga/perc
