No Hay Banda teams up with composer Zihua Tan to release his debut album of two stunning works composed for the group's musicians: the percussion solo 'remnants present', and the quintet 'what came before me is going after me' featuring violin, cello, voice, percussion and ondes Martenot.
'What came before me is going after me', lantern consciousness heightened, delicate hums were all that I could discern. They were loud, the hums, more deafening than inner dialogues trapped in a jar. For a moment I wondered who had left the door ajar, now memories—more disjointed and fragmentary than usual—came pouring out into the pool of unremembrance. Thank goodness I’d forgotten how to swim.' - Zihua Tan
