I finished my piece! Here's the score and parts. It's a 5 minute long piece for string quartet, featuring only 5 notes (D Sharp, D Half Sharp, D Natural, D Half flat, and D Flat). It was really fun to write :)

Christine Abdelnour / Maya Magdas —The Setting Sun is Beautiful Because of All it Makes us Lose (Sofa)

Biography, methodology, and equipment aren’t destiny, but they can be orienting, so let’s start with the details. Alto saxophonist Christine Abdelnour and pianist Maya Magdas are both of Lebanese origin, but both have lived in Europe for most of their lives. Each woman’s first musical training was classical. This is their third album, following Teeming (Olof Bright, recorded in 2009) and Myriad (Unsound, recorded in 2011). Like its predecessors, The Setting Sun is Beautiful Because of All it Makes us Lose was improvised. In addition to playing without a score, Abdelnour and Mayas defy the conventions of their instruments; the former rarely plays familiar reed tones, and the latter is as reliant upon the various objects she places upon the strings as she is upon struck keys to get sound from her piano.
Brennan Lawson and I just threw together a crazy batch of organized sound that some people will complain isn't music! If anyone else would like to collaborate, I'm always down, as long as you're going to actually follow through!!! :P

This is the recording of a trio piece by Katharina Roth, made in March 2021 with musicians from Schallfeld Ensemble at Bruckneruni Linz. The bass part features a wide variety of extended techniques, among which is also some playing with objects that was developed in contact with the composer: glissandi with a selfmade superball, resembling the low rumbling percussion sounds.
