No. 4

Christina Vantzou

A masterfully blurred boundary between chamber strings and modular synthesis. Glacial, submerged, and profoundly still music for moments of total isolation.

April 6, 2018

A profound, frozen stillness that feels both ancient and futuristic.

Moments Worth Listening For

The way the strings in 'No.4 String Quartet' seem to breathe in unison, stretching single notes into infinite, trembling horizons.

The transition into 'Remote Polyphony' where the acoustic and electronic elements finally dissolve into a singular, unidentifiable hum.

The metallic, percussive clinks in 'Percussion in Nonspace' that feel like they are occurring inside your own skull.
