ABOUT
The Del Sol Quartet’s world-premiere recording of Huang Ruo’s A Dust In Time traces a meditative journey inspired by Tibetan Buddhist sand mandalas. The album length palindromic passacaglia grows towards ecstasy from silence before returning to its source. The music will be released in conjunction with Felicia Lee’s hand-drawn coloring book, inviting the listener to create your own mandalas in real-time along with Del Sol's euphoric performance.

“I listened to A Dust in Time in a single sitting after a very long day and was moved to tears, this serene, radiant music packing a real punch.” - THE ARTS DESK
