This is the eleventh work in my chamber music series, STRATA, and my fourth string quartet following STRATA I, V, and IX. This series started in 1988 based on the idea of regarding registers as strata (the plural form of stratum), from which the title in derived. While I continue to write pieces, however, the initial concept changed in various aspects. This time, I returned to the original idea To put it simply, I restarted from STRATA I. I used the same instruments and stared at strara created by the four string parts. That became the act of composing STRATA XI. The work doesn't have 'development' in the general sense but represents a panorama of strata. It consists of four movements (fast-slow-fast-slow). In fact, before writing the STRATA series, I wrote a long string quartet when I was a student, but I didn't include it in my list of works. Anyway, the thought of writing string quartet has never disappeared from me. It alays weighs heavily on my mind. Shin-Ichiro Ikebe.
