About

Introducing multi-talented and lively quartet, PUBLIQuartet is delighted to present 'Rhythm Nation', a diverse selection of individual pieces.

The album celebrates American rhythmic traditions as an expression of bodily autonomy and tacit history keeping. This wide-ranging and toe-tapping exploration features new works by Jlin, Jeff Scott, Mazz Swift, and Eddie Venegas, commissioned by PUBLIQuartet with the support of a 2024 Chamber Music America Artistic Projects grant.

The quartet also expands upon two works from the library of Kronos String Quartet's Fifty for the Future project: Fode Lassana Diabate's Sunjata's Time (2015) and Henry Threadgill's Sixfivetwo (2018), with electronics interludes created by Jannina Norpoth and John-Paul Norpoth meditating on the poignant words of Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation. Each of the pieces on the album evokes a distinct rhythmic world, reflecting the plurality of American movement(s) and protecting the unspoken spirit of their lineage's narratives.
