The Ligeti Quartet perform tracks from their 2023 album Nuc, fusing acoustic and electronic music for string quartet by Mercury-nominated composer Anna Meredith alongside visual projections.The result is a joyful, occasionally furious, never too serious, energetic yet restful collection of tracks which dazzle with Anna Meredith’s signature compulsive harmonies, rhythmic shifts of gear and sparkling textures. Accompanying the music are bespoke projections by animator Ewan Morris Jones, along with a video for ‘Tuggemo’ featuring a melee of plant, animal and mineral creations which swarm together as the song swells. Created using a combination of 2D animation and AI techniques, the visual is a compelling, colourful and hypnotic evolution story. Nuc is performed amplified with a full electronic backing track. The Ligeti Quartet’s disc was one of The Guardian’s Top 10 Contemporary Albums of 2023.
