String Quartet No. 1 “Wrong Ocean” at RAM’s The Heavens Declare

The RAM players perform Guy Barash’s String Quartet No. 1 “Wrong Ocean” at Random Access Music’s program, The Heavens Declare, alongside RAM composers Stephen Cabell, David Fetherolf, Gilbert Galindo, and Frances White’s new string quartets.

… the quartet on its own expanded on traditional string sounds, often creating an evocatively rubber smear, in the Israeli composer Guy Barash’s String Quartet No. 1 “Wrong Ocean” (2012), a rhythmically vital evocation of rough waves and tidal forces.
