Dark and existential music. Depression, nihilism and hopelessness come to the surface from every note, but therein lies the haunting beauty of this record, the slow dive beneath the surface of existence. The soundtrack to noir lives. jiristepan
This is an unusual string quartet – with two cellists and two violinists. The lines of their instruments clash, overlap, build a quasi-resonant echo or sinusoidal forms, harmonize, but also verge upon Penderecki-style horror. Yet this is not a conceptual digression, but a complete composition that requires the listener’s attention throughout – and the result is perfect.
