Kronos Quartet's Space Odyssey

Kronos Quartet's Space Odyssey Kronos Quartet Scheduled to make its timely entrance on the Australian national festival scene in late October, Adelaide's Earth Station http://www.earthstationfestiva l.com.au could not have selected a more appropriate headline act or feature work for its inauguration. The Kronos Quartet's performance of Sun Rings and the enlightened eco-orientated boutique companion event to WOMADelaide, Australia's premier world music festival are simply made for one another. Violinist David Harrington, leader of the world's most celebrated string quartet, is quick to concur. " When I heard about the festival from [event director] Ian Scobie, I thought [...]

Live Review: Axiom Honors Morton Feldman at Tully Scope Festival in NY (2/24)

Feb 26, 2011, 8:30pm Consequence Of Sound
Live Review: Axiom Honors Morton Feldman at Tully Scope Festival in NY (2/24) I once made the mistake of listening to a recording of Morton Feldman's Piano and String Quartet . Working through the impressive 25 Years box set of the Kronos Quartet, iTunes told me the piece would be one hour, 19 minutes, and 38 seconds. I dug my heels in and hit play, ready to be blown away. Instead, I was treated to almost 80 minutes of musical Chinese water torture. Feldman repeated the same flashes of sound and color over and over again, without any change in pitch, dynamics, rhythm, or timbre; it just kept going. Quite [...]

Episodes in Virtuosity: Kronos Quartet

Episodes in Virtuosity: Kronos Quartet John Adams's work, John's Book of Alleged Dances for string quartet has been on my mind for about a month now and it's time I share of few of them. The pieces are performed by the always electrifying Kronos Quartet and I've never wanted to boogie down harder to classical strings than I do when I listen to these performances.

DJ Spooky's "Rebirth of a Nation"
Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Releases Nowadays it takes next to no time to craft a sonic collage of your favourite (or least favourite) music. That's rad for any of us who ever wondered what it'd be like if Jay-Z dropped rhymes over the 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' theme with beats by Technotronic and backup vocals from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. But the digital revolution's accessibility presents a daunting challenge to remix [...]

Ramallah Underground Video still from film Collapse by B. Abbas and R.
