Armin Electric Strings


 

This world premiere recordings of Pulsations delivers a profound sensory impact. Part of the the power is its fusion of the esoteric and the ecstatic - a complex, sophisticated creation made accessible.

Another part is the high-tech heroics of the solo instrument. Pulsations was written specifically for a new instrument, the true electric violin.

Renowned Canadian musician Arthur Polson displays his flashing virtuosity again on this recording as first violinst with The Armin Electric Strings on Fun For Four. This string quartet is Davies at his witty and eclectic best. The zesty composition reflects influences from Gershwin to The Band - with elements of blues, jazz, rock and salsa for good measure. All musicians are playing RAAD electric stringed instruments.
