With an unusual instrumentation and a line-up featuring three grand masters of their instruments, Gantar presents a highly charged work for a quartet that builds on the traditions of modernism and contemporary sound art. The ambitious constellation, which is just
the beginning of the composer’s experimental practice, radically re-examines the established principles of avant-garde artistic processes, combining diverse sound ontologies with great vigour. The result is unity, collective strength in sound; transcending the here and now, going beyond the generational divides and influences.
