“This ensemble is fantastically characterised and flawlessly virtuosic…exquisite and atmospheric music given an outstanding performance."  - The Strad

“…performances that reaffirm USE among the leading string ensembles of its era.” - Gramophone

“…a really fabulous album.” - BBC 3 Record Review

 

An impressive first statement.” Vital Weekly

"That the Vonnegut perform the Quintet with such verve after just five years together speaks to the strength of that approach, as well as their musicianship. Lithe and sinuous yet tautly precise, the work’s astonishing unity of form and content unfolds through lines and textures delivered with passion as well as structural clarity. Savagely elegant, approachable – and wholly satisfying."  -  Classical Music Magazine

Loom (n.) The slow and silent movement of water in a deep pool (Cumbrian dialect)

The sounds of waves, wetlands, and straits map the human experience of water, charting its journey backwards from the sea to the sky. Encouraging conversation and shared community experiences of our coastlines, estuaries, rivers, lakes and floodplains – Loom has been created to inspire and share our stories of these waterscapes.

The soaring instrumental score and found sounds are the sonic counterpart of a collective, human element, as the work also features recorded interviews and personal stories as told by audience members.

“An ensemble of musicians crossing the worlds of folk, classical, electronic and experimental music. It twists and turns through different sound worlds. An intriguing project.” Aidan O’Rourke (LAU)
