STEUART LIEBIG/MINIM:
Quicksilver

This band is one of my main compositional projects. It's in my more "third-stream" style of writing (which combines my love of "serious" composition and free improvisation), which I first started doing in Quartetto Stig. One of the pieces we've done is a collaboration with Belinda Cheng of the Auricle Dance Company called "A Single Rosehip Bursts in Praise." Other pieces are a 23-part piece, "Mosaic," and "Chrysanthemum."
