radio.string.quartet.vienna- In Between Silence [2 LP] (2017)

The sixth album of the Viennese string quartet, co-produced by Bugge Wesseltoft, resists any genre attribution. This music has many names. Music, created by two violins, viola, cello and the human voice. Artists reluctantly make drawers to categorize their work, but the radio.string.quartet has done it. As CrossoverJazzClassicPopFusionRockNewMusicElectronic "thing, the four Viennese describe their new work In Between Silence. Because with such a word monster no one can start anything, they push the Na-If instrumentalists talk of visions, then they are little words with which they convey these. Rather, they use the sounds, rhythms, melodies, sounds or silence to present visionary feelings, thoughts, images, colors or stories. His visions leave the percussionist and rhythm drummer Murat Coskun on this CD in dialogue with two great musicians and masters of improvisation, David Friedman and Arezoo Rezvani, some of the artists who inspired them in recent years: Nine Inch Nails, Franz Schubert, Feist, Est, Arvo Pärt, Bugge Wesseltoft &

Sidsel Endresen. In Between Silence, as it was for a real band, they were recorded live together in the studio, but additionally enriched with self-created samples and overdubs. In a recording the quartet even got support from the techno-pioneer Henrik Schwarz and the increased use of voices broadened the band's horizons considerably.
