Raz Mesinai's "String Quartet For Four Turntables" is a composition for string quartet (comprised of 2 violins, 1 viola, and 1 cello), with each instrument recorded separately in the studio and then pressed onto 12" vinyl. The 12"s are played by 2 dj's who each have 2 copies of the 12"s and 2 turntables. It was first performed by Dj Olive and Dj Toshio Kajiwara at the Lincoln Center Festival in New York City in 2000 but was never recorded or released until now. Mesinai insisted on letting the vinyl sit, uncovered, for 9 years (so that the crackles and pops would be more present) before finally re recording the piece exclusively for Dub War. In this version Mesinai performs it himself, focusing on the tuning of the turntables, creating intense dissonant textures.

I love this! It reminds me of the huge crush I had on the sounds of Rachel's in 1997. Thank you Dub War

Sounds like some shit Kid Koala would do, minus being shitfaced and screwing up a few times as he did the last time I saw him

can we get an mp3 render please?

spatial · Post by **spatial** » Thu Feb 12, 2009 12:24 pm

If you get the podcast episode in iTunes or another podcatcher you've already got the mp3?

threshold collective · Post by **threshold collective** » Thu Feb 12, 2009 1:23 pm

reason why i asked is because i don't use i-tunes or listen to podcasts.

this mix spiked my interest and having an MP3 would be very nice instead of installing more software on my system.

thanks
