A ballroom can be a marvelous place to lose track of time. This one may have lost track of several centuries.

The world behind the music
A story without a page.
The Masquerade of Hollow Smiles lets a scene do the talking: candlelit elegance, elaborate masks, a roomful of impeccable manners, and the faint suspicion that no one has been alive for a very long time.
Its macabre playfulness belongs to a corner of the Wolfesque imagination where beauty and absurdity are welcome at the same table. The setting might be unsettling, but there is a peculiar delight in watching its guests carry on as though nothing is wrong.
The piece is presented as part of Wolfesque Music. Listen to the complete release below, then visit the studio archive for the wider musical collection.
