“Zinia Chan’s work Gaze Upon the Liquid Sky was a stunning bookend… A strong use of electronics allowed for the acoustic instruments to become part of the soundscape; Chan melded the natural noises of the outside world with electronic sounds and the oboe and piano performing live. One became the other, and if you closed your eyes, you could feel the wind shifting the trees, the frogs croaking, the crickets singing out.”
