Quarantine Suite for flute quartet

music for flute quartet (fl1, fl2, afl, bfl) between jazz and modern classical music.
In the lockdown-stricken winter of 2021/2022 Vienna based jazz saxophonist and flautist Sascha Otto decided to write music for flute quartet a musical lineup that has largely been neglected as opposed to the much more common string quartet.
The result is a suite in 9 movements recalling a myriad of moods we all had in those days oscillating between optimistic outbursts and gloomy introspections - an interesting acoustic story alternating between jazz and modern classical music, a musical journey into hitherto unprecedented regions. Odd meters combined with rhythmic games of deception mingle with eerie soundscapes echoing the ambiguous feelings the pandemic created in every one of us. Enjoy!
