| Benjamin Britten, String Quartet No.2 in C Major, Op.36 | 08 Jul 2025 | 00:30:22 | |
What fuelled Britten’s art-making, and how did he use the string quartet to express his most personal thoughts? Australian String Quartet musicians Dale, Francesca, Chris and Michael talk about Britten and how he might have used his lived experience to create utterly unique soundworlds. Featuring Australian String Quartet musicians: Title music produced by Adam Page Inner Voices with the Australian String Quartet is generously supported by the Thyne Reid Foundation. This episode's sampler was created by Bob Jarvis. Bob creates interactive and temporal artworks that integrate music, animation, code, and text. Out of their experimental process emerge themes of intermodality, colour, polyrhythm, flight, ontology, belief, and kinaesthetics. "In approaching the sound design, one moment of the quartet reminded me strongly of an aeolian harp - a stringed instrument played by wind. I had been exploring weather-powered instruments recently and used this as a thematic tie for the selection of sonic elements: water, bird song, wind chimes. I imagine the old upright piano as having been subjected to these same elements, perhaps having been left in a paddock for a few years."

"When asked to make an ambient electronic music response that integrates ASQ's recording of Schumann’s String Quartet in A major Op.41 No.3 I began by listening for the swells and waves of notes and chords that would swim beautifully alongside this analogue synth loop. I took elements of the ASQ recording and transposed, pitch shifted, time-stretched and re-sampled various moments out of the full 20 minutes of Schumann and c The Australian String Quartet (ASQ) is Australia’s pre-eminent organisation dedicated to string quartet music and Quartet-in-Residence at the University of Adelaide’s Elder Conservatorium of Music.

| Ludwig van Beethoven, String Quartet No.9 in C Major, Op.59 No.3, Razumovsky | 08 Jul 2025 | 00:26:54 | |
How does Beethoven show us how to be human? And even after 250 years, what is it about his music that attracts us so much? Discover all this and more as Australian String Quartet musicians Dale, Francesca, Chris and Michael talk about Ludwig van Beethoven’s incredible contribution in the context of his String Quartet No.9 in C Major, Op.59 No.3, Razumovsky. Featuring Australian String Quartet musicians: Title music produced by Adam Page Inner Voices with the Australian String Quartet is generously supported by the Thyne Reid Foundation For every episode of Inner Voices with the Australian String Quartet, we commission and feature a new piece of music created with samples from that episode's subject. This episode's sampler was created by Belinda Gehlert, a violinist, violist and composer whose professional creative practice spans two decades. Since 2005 Belinda has been writing chamber music, orchestral music and incidental music for the stage and screen.

Belinda is a regular freelance musician with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, The Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra. "It feels slightly sacrilegious to re arrange Beethoven so I really wanted to stay true to his colour palette and imagine what this quartet might sound like if you heard it in a dream or as a soundtrack to a silent film. I introduced a few electronic delay and reverb effects to morph some of the ASQ samples as well as adding extra strings and piano, essentially giving the track the sound of a piano quartet. The diminished harmony at the opening of the quartet is astonishing and I really enjoyed working with that part in particular."
