about

The Way is a 60-minute continuous work for The Dymaxion Quartet. It is a musical realization of 13 books from Stephen Mitchell's translation of the Tao Te Jing. It is also a musical palindrome, working its way through various key centers, tempos, and themes to a central piece, then back through them in reverse order to come full circle.
