An exciting premiere of the joint musical composition by acclaimed Japanese visual artist and composer Ryoji Ikeda and the Solem Quartet. 

Praised for their 'immaculate precision and spirit' (The Strad) and 'cultured tone' (Arts Desk), the Solem Quartet has established itself as one of the most innovative quartets of its generation. A 2020 awardee of the Jerwood Arts Live Work Fund, the Solem Quartet takes its place amongst the UK’s brightest artistic voices.  

Alongside his installations combining video and electronic sounds, Japan’s leading electronic composer and visual artist Ryoji Ikeda has been working also on pure acoustic sounds projects. His research on acoustic music was previously developed through his compositions for string and percussion instruments, creating textures close to electronic music.
