Appalachian folk music played with a chamber music aesthetic
influenced by minimalism. Mix fabulous string playing with beautiful
harmonized singing and the result is a sound which is as high and
lonesome as it is symphonic. Blending tradition, experimentation, and
sheer nonsense in roughly equal measure, the Idumea Quartet
deconstruct and reconstruct Appalachian folk music, drawing strong
influencxes from Minimalism and experimental music.
The
Idumea Quartet is: Jane Rothfield and Ewan Macdonald on fiddle, Becka
Wolfe on viola, Nathan Bontrager on cello.
