Description: Various Artists - Wooden Bodies [New CD] Artist: Various Artists Title: Wooden Bodies Condition: Format: CD Release Date: 2021 Label: Footprint UPC: 7320470255476 Genre: Pop The latest release from Footprint Records - Wooden Bodies - is a snapshot of a decade of contemporary creativity within the string quartet genre and celebrates the Malva String Quartet's appetite for the new and unusual - for novel ways in which the 'wooden bodies' of the ensemble, both human and instrumental, might converse, argue, interact and celebrate. The Malva Quartet is definitely one the most exciting string quartets in Sweden and their driving force is curiosity. 'We play music that we are passionate about and we want to provide high quality and intensely communicative musical experiences. When we set our programs we try to push the boundaries, experimenting with sounds and expectations. We love to collaborate with other artists and we have a playful approach to music making and concert creation.' Karin Rehnqvist's The Riddle is a single-movement work that threads a typically simple, folk-like melody on a journey through the quartet's varied expressive capabilities. 'I try to find ideas that are simple but have complexity inside, so that you can make more out of it,' the composer has said. Tebogo Monnakgotla was nominated for the 2018 Nordic Council Music Prize. Her score Wooden Bodies from 2018 was commissioned by the Malva Quartet. It is a piece both elusive and tangible, presenting a theatrical interplay between the four 'wooden bodies' of the string quartet which appear to long for unification. My Desert, My Rose by Aleksandra Vrebalov is based on the idea of individuality in a string quartet: 'what one brings to the group, what one gives to the others and what one gets from them.' Lo Kristenson has focused on music in circular, twisting forms that explore the minute details of resistance, energy, pressure and slow growth. Her score vridna, vågsång explores the idea of resistance in the instruments, adding vocal sounds too.Copyright DirectToU LLC. All Rights Reserved.
