Beautifully recorded by Sal Mormando and mastered by Grammy winner Silas Brown, these improvisations were performed with no prior musical planning. But Fanous and Hwang have become so well-attuned to each other's gestures, moods, and trajectories that sometimes the music can sound through-composed. Figure and ground give way to each other seamlessly, and at times meld into one and the same. Throughout the recording, Fanous and Hwang employ the full palettes available to them, resulting in a music that is at once orchestral, cinematic, spontaneous, and at all times, visceral. In short, this is contemporary instrumental music of great beauty, depth, energy, and sensitivity. It represents a snapshot of the complexities, richness, anxieties, exuberances, and polyglot accommodations of 21st century American life.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Nilometer at Rota \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Dna: Untranslated \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Dna: Messenger, the Message \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Zilzal \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Mausoleum of Beybars the Crossbowman \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Dna: Binding Sights \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Lapwing \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Darb Al-Arbaeen \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Tree of the Virgin at Matariya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
