Richard Richard Evoking the atmosphere of a haunted house. Fraught with violin and cello that guide the listener around yet another shadowy hallway and up spiral staircases to find the source of those unnatural, creaking sounds...

A follow up, of sorts, to "Four Last Things" from 2016. David was listening back to that in Spring 2022 and it struck him that he could create a second string quartet, which would have the same "DNA" as the one which plays such an integral part in the overall "Four Last Things" album. And so, he did - and here it is. Downloaders receive String Quartet No1, isolated from "Four Last Things", plus a remix of the first movement of the latest quartet. You should be aware that a third quartet is planned for release in 2033 if David is still here!

Time and texture. They move seemingly somewhat independent of each other, but also quite cognizant of the other. Categorizing is difficult here and this listener counts that as a wonderful success. You need to wear your different ears here. Recommended! solemnland
