Larkmead School Music Project Autumn 2016 - Band 3

One of the great heroes and champions of contemporary music, David Harrington has put together a playlist especially for OCM. David founded Kronos Quartet more than 40 years ago and since that time they have continually re-imagined the string quartet, releasing more than 50 records and presenting countless international performances. We hope you enjoy it!

David Harrington | Kronos Quartet | Playlist for OCM

Recomposed takes audio and video recordings of live music performances made on the day of an event, to create an entirely new -sonically and visually- world, that the audience can experience directly after the source performance. This is no remix: the intensity of the work generates material which is new and exciting while still rooted in that recent shared experience.     

The project developed as a way of engaging diverse audiences in high-quality exploratory electronic music. It premiered in Oxford in 2014, recomposing a concert by jazz pianist Ivo Neame with saxophonist Julian Arguelles. Audience responses were overwhelmingly positive, the tangible link to something familiar clearly breaking down barriers to music and sound art that they wouldn’t ordinarily experience, giving them a foundation for deeper appreciation and exploration. The Oxford recomposition was broadcast on BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction.

Recomposed went on to Cheltenham Jazz Festival in 2016 & 17, again with a broadcast on Radio 3's Jazz on 3, reworking a show by Soweto Kinch.
