5.30.14 Mivos Quartet played at the A.R.T. space on South Oxford in Fort Green Brooklyn, performing El Jardin de senderos que se bifurcan by Taylor Brook, the winner of their Kanter Composition prize. It was stunning in it's composition and execution, full of unusual timbral textures, extended technique noise and exotic tonalities. They also played an excerpt of Dan Blake's The Dust Moves, on which Blake sat in on sax, which was also brilliant (and is in this video). The namesake of the prize, Carl Kanter, had a lyrical piece played as well.
