Hazmat Modine: Cicada
by Anthony Shaw
To call this band is eclectic is a understatement; to call it spectacular is a simplification; to say it is led by a mouth-harp duo is approximating a partial truth, but ignores the other seven people that comprise the troupe, not to mention ten other “past, adjunct and intermittent Hazmaticians!" However, the start and end has ...
CD/DVD: Kronos Quartet - Rainbow: Music of Central Asia Vol. 8 (2010)
Volume 8 in the Smithsonian Folkways series on the music of Central Asia paired the Kronos Quartent with Afghan rubâb virtuoso Homayun Sakhi and Azerbaijani father-daughter singing duo Alim and Fargana Qasimov. The results of the collaborations were almost too good to be believed. The stories of how the compositions were put together are fascinating. In ...
The Kronos Quartet Performs "Uniko" with Kimmo Pohjonen and Samuli Kosminen
There are musical works that come along now and then that go beyond what categorical pigeonholing comfortably handles. Such music is all-the-more welcome in the sense that it expands the boundaries of possibility for music as we understand it in the present tense.

Kronos Quartet / Wu Man: Terry Riley: The Cusp of Magic
by John Kelman
Of the many artists whose work the longstanding Kronos Quartet has commissioned, none has been approached more often than Terry Riley. Riley is one of the founding fathers of minimalism, the late-1960s classical sub genre where repetition of a number of varying length musical fragments creates an ever-shifting landscape often defined by its hypnotic and transcendent ...
