The music of Tolimieri/Wong is a music of erasure. Specifically, they are attempting to remove various syntactical structures from their work, for example melody, harmony, gesture, and formal development. The impetus for this removal is a desire to evade the historical models that these syntactical structures force upon the listener and that serve, in a sense, to obscure the »sound-in-and-of-itself« (if such a thing exists) of the sonic object. The results of this removal is a music that is extremely minimal and reduced, closer to a kind of sound sculpture than to traditional concert music.
