Born from Ether....





A music of the spirit, a pure art, removing us far away from the deafening turmoil of life to lead us to the silent kingdom of conceptual shadows.


~ Karl Kostlin describing a string quartet, 1850


A more secret world / in rich silence / born from ether / in the eternal silent light / emerging into air and light


~ Luigi Nono, notes to performers, taken from Holderlin
