about

"The real profundity of Forbidden Love is not its experiment in re-purposing classical instruments, but the pervasive presence of American cultural imagery: sewing machines, wood chopping, quilting, square dancing, clogging, and hints of folk melody. The new and experimental become the framework in which a culture is reminded of its far-gone roots, long before a young man named Cage would prepare his piano."
— Seen and Heard International

Performed by Sō Percussion:

Adam Sliwinski - violin I
Eric Cha-Beach - violin II
Jason Treuting - viola
Joshua Quillen - cello
