Quoth the YBCA: “Kronos Quartet joins forces with local experimental music superstars in this celebration of sound art. Matmos makes music from everyday sounds - amplified crayfish nerve tissue, a kiss between lovers. Their world premier collaboration with Kronos is a score for video, software interface, sample banks and stringed instruments. Kitundu makes instruments that rely on wood, water, fire and earthquakes for their power and pitch. His piece for the Quartet honors jazz great Charles Mingus in a way he could never have imagined, on instruments only Kitundu can play.” For the uninitiated, Kronos Quartet is legendary chamber string quartet that has worked with an insane number of composers. I wish I could tell you about the time I saw them in Amsterdam. But I can’t seem to remember it all that well. I remember thoroughly enjoying it, though. And Matmos are supposed to be great live as well.
