Recording Review: Against the silence... from Fanfare
...Thomas DeLio (1985/86) Against the Silence . . . , for percussion ensemble and four-channel computer-generated tape... “Throughout the work,“ the composer remarks, “sound arises from decays into a silence which ultimately overwhelms it—hence the title, from the work of the great American poet Paul Blackburn“... Silence indeed dominates this beautiful work. I'd love to hear a staged, surround-sound performance.
