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!

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.
@cehass112 күн бұрын
This score is like version 1.5 - I did a facelift of the notation but didn't alter much of the music itself since the recording in 2019. Version 2.0 has a few new subtle musical changes.
