Album release Persdotter / Mathilde / Olesen / Thomsen

Release of “Live at Mayhem”. Listen / buy the album here.

This is not a typical string quartet; using free improvisation as a vehicle the quartet merges familiar sounds of traditional string instruments with ripply textures through adventurous explorations of extended techniques, preparations, and circuit bent effect pedals. 

The music is a dense and volatile result of intuitive abstraction, alternating between virtuosity and off-the-cliff-experimentation.
