Comments:

FZ on The Yellow Shark (1993) liner notes:

This is one of the movements of the string quartet, "None of the Above," that the Kronos Quartet asked me to write for them. In this case, the revision includes making a string quintet out of it, so we wouldn't have the bass player just sitting around while the other guys were just sawing away. The whole of "None of the Above" was re-orchestrated to include the bass.
It got the title because I didn't think that it fell into the normal descriptive orbit of what string quartet or string quintet music is supposed to be.

Todd Yvega on the Everything Is Healing Nicely (1999) liner notes:

None Of The Above started out as a collection of String Quartets composed on the Synclavier for the Kronos Quartet in 1985.
