Fatal strangers : electric quartet / Kate Moore.

Work Overview
Fatal strangers was commissioned by Ensmble Lucillin. It is an electric quartet for EWI, electric violin, synthesizer and drums. The music is trance-like, hypnotic and ritualistic. The strange psychedelic qualities of the piece, emphasized by the electronic sound of the instruments, draws the listener in to its web of sonic intrigue and escapism. It could have taken place in the dungeons of a nightclub in the early hours of the morning. A late-night train rattles by. The band plays on in the backrooms of a derelict building, smokey, decadent, strange, dark.
