‘A truly interdisciplinary sonic art’: Quiet Music Ensemble at 10

Marking the 10th anniversary of The Mysteries Beyond Matter (Farpoint Recordings), and it’s recent release, QME Artistic Director John Godfrey wrote a fantastic blog post on the ensemble’s mission for RTE Culture.

“QME performs music that is essentially improvised within a 'space’ created by third parties; to put it another way, our composers (and I use that word only for want of a more suitable one) make pieces for us, but they don’t tell us what to play - they provide what might be described as an environment to explore. This means that the artists who make pieces for us do not have to be trained in music; some of our most interesting pieces come from artists of other disciplines.”
