And As The Medieval Cloisters Connect Seamlessly With The Corridors of Power… I’m quietly confident… (U-turn!), is a single channel audio work in which six a cappella singers perform a historic political U-turn: a broken promise, typically the biggest failure of government. The U-turn is abstracted into a stuttering series of dissonant coughs, “umms,” and ”urrs” that eventually find momentary harmony in a triumphantly melodic climax—only to collapse back into silence and start the cycle of indecisions again.
