Hayden on the Kaum Quartet
Last December we played a concert in the St Audeons church in Dublin with a new quartet consisting of four altos which we called christened the “Kaum Quartet”. The group evolved out of my workshop series in Greece and continued the microtonal explorations we started there. It was crisp and cold in Dublin during the rehearsals and I shot and cut my first portrait film for Plushmusic which you can see here. One of the pieces, Flock, deals with the movement of animals translated in into musical parameters- hence the swans and ducks in my film ( I couldn´t find any sheep so I went a la Chinois for the next tastiest animals).
