Thank you all for listening to this remarkable recording by the Sinta Quartet! I've been uploading score videos of new pieces all throughout the summer, including my newest sax quartet Moonlit Village and a bari sax duo called Phantom Voltage, so be sure to subscribe and check out those recent videos if you enjoyed this! And a new edition of Volcanic Ash is now available with a couple small tweaks and some much needed notational polish! www.hassmusic.com/chamber/volcanicash

As the soprano player on this recording, I can attest that this piece is the shit. And also for you recording nerds out there, Chris was in the booth for this recording and produced this track as well!

@@graserclassical Definitely gotta put “this piece is the shit” in my bio 😂 Thanks for everything, Dan! It was such a joy revisiting this recording to make this video. I had to listen through the piece around 10 times to sync everything up and your quartet’s energy, precision, and fire just doesn’t get old!

Is this the version 2.0 of the piece that you mentioned in the description or is this before that? I'm asking because I noticed some differences in the score from the video you released of this piece a few years back, and I'm curious to know if those are part of the 2.0 or not.
