[NewMusic] underwhelmed @ Mills

Yes, but he chose a "pallette cleansing" white...in music, or sound, the easiest pallette cleanser is silence.
I don't quite think the effect would have been the same if he had chosen to fill those spaces with paisly (which is my big beef with gigantic improv groups).

>Space can also be created by re-orchestrating yourself through register, timbre and dynamics. 

Yes, the challenge is to find the musical equivalents of eggshell...and to use them in a "tasteful" way (whatever that means)...
