Everything Touches Everything Else was written for the combined forces of Ensemble Dal Niente, Ensemble Adapter, and Distractfold. In a series of permutations, performers transition from playing as soloists in a circle around the audience to playing as trios, quartets, quintets, etc., moving inward among the crowd until the entire 3-ensemble group is huddled together in the center of the room. With each permutation, performers negotiate co-playing arrangements so that no single person in a combination plays less than two instruments at a time.
