Diligence Is to Magic as Progress Is to Flight: Live & On Tape

Austin Wulliman and Ensemble Dal Niente perform Diligence Is to Magic as Progress Is to Flight at Constellation in Chicago at the release event with Parlour Tapes+ on December 12, 2014.

The album was also featured in Peter Margasak's "Favorite Music of 2014" list for the Chicago Reader.

Music Unlimited review

All About Jazz did a really nice piece on the MUSIC UNLIMITED 28 festival in Wels, Austria, in November. Here's the bit about Till by Turning's performance:

"The all-female chamber trio Till by Turning (pianist Emily Manzo, bassoon player Katherine Young and violinist Erica Dicker) presented a challenging contemporary program by composers Sofia Gubaidulina and Morton Feldman. Thoughtful improvisations and arresting sonic explorations focused on extended techniques and inventive exploration of silence and space. 

Despite the demanding nature of this set and the often minimal, almost silent sonic articulations, the trio succeeded in keeping the audience carefully attuned to an adventurous journey. The most memorable piece of this set was Young's solo for bassoon and electronics, in which her inventive breathing techniques were enhanced by different effects until her breaths, the bassoon's total timbral range, and the electronics formed a strangely beautiful wall of inimitable sound."
