About
This quartet exists as an extended, fragile mosaique - exploring a single frame of music. The music wakes, forms, deforms, and shimmers with an extreme delicacy and lightness of touch. Wake frames sound with silence and explores the utter limits of both. The title references lyrics by the Naked and Famous:
"If it falls apart I will surely wake it, bright lights turn me green, this is worse than it seems wait, I don't ever want to be here like punching in a dream, breathing life into my nightmare"
