Laurie Anderson & Kronos Quartet
Barbican Hall, London Barbican, Silk Street, London EC2 United Kingdom 020 7638 8891 http://www.barbican.org.uk/eticketingKronos Quartet Two legendary forces in new music come together on stage in a major new commission and their first-ever collaboration.
Landfall: Scenes From My New Novel is a collection of works composed on hyper violin and adapted to the string quartet. Like a series of short stories, the pieces are linked by passages inspired by weather - roaring, all enveloping and atmospheric.
For this piece Laurie Anderson has designed software that brings the harmonics and overtones up off the noises floor creating an instrument that breathes in a completely new way. Kronos Quartet has adapted and built on this musical language so that electronics and traditional strings sing together.
'Quiet, poignant and very human' Washington Post
