Program Note:
During our time in the Alaskan tundra, we would regularly experience the effects of the distant disentegration of the hanging glaciers perched about the valley we explored; crashes and explosions echoed to our camps several moments after their sources had settled into a cloud of disturbed snow. colussus falls with invisible radiance seeks to recreate that experience; imagining those tons of ice unnoticably falling gracefully and silently, yielding uncanny moments later to a raucous of mythic porportions.
