Quartet No. 6
Matthew Whiteside

Description

This piece was written while I was staying in an Air BnB in Tallinn, Estonia and begin life when I picked up a set of windchimes the owner had left lying around. The piece is an orchestration of those chimes and imagines a great hand jiggling the quartet to initiate each gesture. Recording released on Entangled on 25th October 2019 performed by the Aurea Quartet.
