beyond the accident of time is a work of staggering beauty. Composed for percussion and voices and utilizing extreme dynamics and timbres, this work leads a foray into new territory for Lōʻihi Records — a rigorous, transcendent soundscape that rewards both deep listening and surrender to its sublime humanity.
