While
Western polyphonic music
achieved its pinnacle in
the fugue, rhythmic
polyphony of great
complexity evolved in
Cuba. It is particularly
the 'bata' (drumming
music originating in the
Afro-Cuban 'Santeria'
cult), the 'rumba' and
the 'son' (ancestor of
the famous 'salsa') which
have provided me with my
inspiration. I employ the
quartet in the manner of
a drumming ensemble and
each individual string
corresponds to the sound
of a particular drum. The
quartet plays on
scordatura open strings
employing a rich palette
of percussive playing
techniques recreating the
different types of
drumming attacks. Thierry
Pecou.
