PULSE is a progressive string quartet. We allow new musical ideas to flow freely across all genres and boundaries. By using electronics, we open up worlds of sound that would otherwise be inaccessible to a string quartet. Today, music by Michael Gordon and Georgia Koumará.
Michael Gordon says: "in Potassium I use a distortion or fuzzbox for the string quartet to create a mysterious and charged sound". Composer Georgia Koumará from Greece/Cologne likes to work with pedals and was commissioned by PULSE to write a piece for them, which will be premiered in PULSE#10.
