Quartet

by Taku Sugimoto & Nikos Veliotis

Quartet cover art

A defining document of the ultra-minimalist 'onkyo' movement, this acoustic collaboration between the Japanese guitarist and Greek cellist requires the listener's utmost patience. Recorded in Athens, the improvisation is remarkably sparse, utilizing vast expanses of near-silence punctuated by incredibly deliberate, fragile string plucks.
