[silence] Cursive II

[Graham Urquhart]

I don't know if this helps at all:

....'For this piece, Lin Hwai-min uses music that John Cage composed 
mainly during the early 1990s: ascetic, rather melodic works from his 
“Asian” period, written partly for Tibetan instruments, and making 
generous use of the silence between the phases of musical activity. They 
both allow the music to breathe and create a climate in which the 
choreography can evolve freely'
