Creating an abstract narrative around the loss of communication, he investigates the effects of the abrupt discontinuation of a radio station on a community and the lingering effects of Alzheimer's and aphasia on a family. A score by Alva Noto is mixed with recordings of classic soul and hip-hop with contemporary classical compositions by Ryoji Ikeda. Joining Abraham in performance are Maureen Damaso, Samantha Farrow, Raja Kelly, Nicole Mannarino, Jeremy Nedd, Amber Parker, and Rachelle Rafailedes.
