The Elektra String Quartet, one of Australia’s leading electro-acoustic ensembles present a selection of powerful works specifically commissioned for Elektra’s unique sound and approach to music-making, from some of Australia’s most happening, funky and very living composers.

​

These works represent something of the unique working relationships that developed over time between a jazz, techno and ambient - based, technology driven ensemble, and a number of composers seeking to give voice to some of their less culturally permissible primal urges, such as driving rhythms, over-the-top amplification, groove based writing and greater degrees of freedom than would normally be possible within the classically oriented string quartet.
