Los Glissandinos work with clarinet and sine tones beating and thrumming in your middle ear, all beautifully paced and serene, but with just enough steely menace broiling under the surface to keep you on edge.

A collaboration bringing together artists with a shared gravitational heft to their work; an intense and concentrated accumulation of detail and power.
