Anna Meredith - Nuc
Classical music
Nuc began as a conversation between Anna Meredith and Richard Jones (viola player) after they realised that they had almost an album's worth of music after ten years of frequent collaboration. Thus the idea was born that they would not only make the first studio recordings of original music by Anna for string quartet, but that Richard would also create new arrangements of existing songs by Anna.
The result is an upbeat and bittersweet, energetic and soothing, never-too-serious collection of tracks that shine with Anna's signature compelling harmonies, rhythmic accelerations and sparkling textures.
