Hiljainen

Recording from the F.p. by Kamus Quartet 29th July 2023 Our Festival
Terhi Paldanius, 1.violin, Jukka Untamala, 2.violin, Jussi Tuhkanen, viola and Petja Kainulainen, cello

The starting points for this quartet were shaped by the idea of the fragile and beautiful earth and its accelerating rotation. Just over a year ago was the shortest day ever measured. Climate change is thought to be one of the reasons. In addition, the characters of the work were affected by the utopian, distant, too big and abstract things that now concern us not only in the light of updated knowledge and research, but also as the earth is changing faster and closer to the incomprehensible than ever before.

The carbon footprint of the string quartet ...and we are rotating with it was calculated and climate compensated. According to the commissioner Meidän Festivaali, the case is the first in the world.
