Del Sol Quartet “The Vast Blue We” Live at Internet Archive (SF)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

In celebration of the Internet Archive’s milestone of archiving 1 trillion web pages, Del Sol Quartet and the Internet Archive present, “The Vast Blue We.”

An evening to celebrate human collaboration—how billions of individual actions weave together into something vast and beautiful. Through music of Del Sol Quartet with new works by Erika Oba and Sam Reider, we mark the staggering scale of one trillion archived web pages available via the Wayback Machine. Join us for an interactive evening of live music reflecting the wonder of what we can achieve together and the power of our own voices.

The Vast Blue We
Tuesday, October 7. 2025 | 7p – 8:15p
Internet Archive, 300 Funston Avenue, SF
Get Tickets – $10 General Admission – fees included; for online, register at virtual ticket.

We encourage you to wear shades of blue to celebrate how we collectively form the fabric of this “pale blue dot” we live on.

For those familiar with Del Sol’s music at dWeb, this performance will have the vibe combining their stargazing concert, river concert & ceremony music.

About Del Sol Quartet

San Francisco’s Del Sol Quartet believes that music can, and should, happen anywhere – screaming out Aeryn Santillan’s Makeshift Memorials from a Mission District sidewalk or a rural high school, bouncing Ben Johnston’s microtonal Americana off the canyon walls of the Yampa River or the hallowed walls of Library of Congress, bringing Huang Ruo’s Angel Island Oratorio home to the island detention barracks or across the Pacific to the Singapore International Arts Festival. Del Sol’s performances provide the possibility for unexpected discovery, sparking dialogue and bringing people together.

Since 1992, Del Sol has commissioned or premiered hundreds of works by composers including Terry Riley, Tania León, Frederic Rzewski, Vijay Iyer, Mason Bates, Pamela Z, Chinary Ung, Chen Yi, Andy Akiho, Erberk Eryilmaz, Theresa Wong, and Reza Vali. They especially value their ongoing relationship with the Gabriela Lena Frank Creative Academy of Music in Boonville, California.

Huang Ruo – A Dust in Time, Del Sol’s eleventh album, was described in the New York Times as “excavations of beauty from the elemental.” Recent Del Sol recordings include The Resonance Between, a collaboration with North Indian musicians Alam Khan & Arjun Verma, SPELLLING and The Mystery School with Oakland magical-futurist pop phenomenon SPELLLING, and their podcast “Sounds Current,” an official selection of the Tribeca Festival.
