String quartets

String quartet that I wrote as performed by Elliot Kempton (https://www.fiverr.com/elliotkempton/be-your-string-quartet). Named for a pictogram that was actually part of the ancient hieroglyphic vocabulary and now has its own Unicode code point.

Wig on Pole

String quartet that I wrote using a pentatonic Pelog scale. All parts played by MariaGrig.
