d For String Quartet.
Commissioned by the New
Arts String Quartet,
first performed in Tokyo
November 1996. Quoting
Tanaka: The title Metal
Strings suggests speed
metal rock music which I
have been listening to a
lot in recent years. I
find an explosive energy
in its music that people
of today thirst for.
Previously I have
explored solid, speedy
and metallic sound in
pieces such as 'Wave
Mechanics' (1994), 'Wave
Mechanics II' (1994) and
'Metalic Crystal'
(1994-95). This idea has
been extended and
developed in my string
quartet, Metal Strings.
Score only edition,
separate parts are also
available on sale.
