Electric Amazigh
ft. Javier Infante
96k Music | 2021
Through eight fascinating pieces written by Javier Infante, influences from North African music (Berbers/Amazighs), Sephardic songs and contemporary jazz are intermingled. Likewise, the Dutch quartet pushes the groovy character character of these songs through its rhythmic strength and innovative percussive sounds. At times, there seems to be a drummer in the room! The vast electric guitar and string solos give rise to a strong creative and experimental spirit, interspersing beautiful melodies with powerful rhythmic passages.

Songs for Flying
ft. Roland Satterwhite
EP | 2018
Songs for flying is the outcome of a remarkable collaboration between Berlin-based singer and violist Roland Satterwhite and the Dutch North Sea String Quartet. Roland’s soulful songwriting gets embodied by his deep, compelling voice and the sensitive playing of the string quartet, resulting in breathtaking sincerity. The songs are about life and love, snails and dignity, about freedom and commitment; each of them able to give wings to the listener.

Feldwerk
EP | 2018
Our second EP is the result of a journey through different musical fields and genres, broadening our horizons and stirring our imagination. Aside from compositions that are influenced by Irish and Canary Island folk music, we’ve included our very first arrangement of African music. In contrast to these folk tunes, you will hear compositions that show another side of the quartet: intimate and sensitive storytelling.
