“The work draws on post-minimalist style but forcefully transcends it, and a split in pitch early on yields to notes that whip by as though by centrifugal force.”

PROGRAM NOTE

“But Not Until” is a duo based on a series of ironic interpersonal experiences that reminded me of the David Foster Wallace quote, “The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you.”
