Composer Tim Brady and the enigmatic Montreal-based Warhol Dervish String Quartet present Tim Brady: String Quartet Nos. 3 5 The Possibility of a New Work for String Quartet. Stemming from Bradyís compositional challenge so many string quartets have been written, there is literally nothing left to do with the medium these works push the boundaries of the genre, treating composition not as a written score but as an ever-evolving process of music making. The album opens with Quartet No. 3, an instruction-based score that invites performers to compose their own quartet. Quartet No. 4 unfolds as a slow, meditative work, marked by its sparseness, transparency, and expansive melodic line. Next, Quartet No. 5 is a five-movement piece that challenges the musicians rhythmic agility and ensemble acuity, bringing the album to a dynamic close.
