Kronos Quartet is featured in new video from the New York Times, in which the Quartet performs Carlos Paredes's "Canção Verdes Anos" (heard on the five-disc box set Kronos Explorer Series) and discusses the special nature of making music through the quartet. "To me," says Kronos founder and artistic director David Harrington, "the challenge of music is to really be awake, really listen and to try to get your body to respond to what you're hearing inside." You can watch the video, which uses 3D-data capture to present the performance, here.
Kronos Quartet, which begins a five-night run of performances with Laurie Anderson at the Brooklyn Academy of Music tonight for the Nonesuch Records at BAM series, is featured in new video from the New York Times, in which Kronos—David Harrington, John Sherba (violins), Hank Dutt (viola), and Sunny Yang (cello)—performs Carlos Paredes's "Canção Verdes Anos" and discuss the special nature of making music through the quartet. The video also uses 3D-data capture to present the performance through an animated dot cloud. You can watch it below.
"To me," Harrington, Kronos founder and artistic director, says in the video, "the challenge of music is to really be awake, really listen and to try to get your body to respond to what you're hearing inside."
Kronos Quartet's recording of "Canção Verdes Anos," for their 2000 Nonesuch Records release Caravan, can also be heard in Kronos Explorer Series, the new five-album box set released earlier this year on Nonesuch in honor of the group's 40th anniversary year.
