Virtual Assembly
Virtual Assembly is a chamber trio that doesn't know what it’s going to play before it plays. But when it plays, the problem of all the capacities and ideas it has within turns into live music. Before that the music is not actual, it’s virtual; yet real . . . i.e., concentrated in the assembly like the dream of a butterfly in the cocoon.

Bob Marsh - cello
Jim Ryan - flute
Eli Wallace - piano
