Kronos Quartet collaborating with sound artist, composer, and instrument creator Walter Kitundu on a composition/installation for the instruments of the string quartet and one or more “phonoharps”-beautifully crafted multi-stringed phonograph turntables capable of simultaneously amplifying the tones of vibrating strings through the stylus as well as the content of a vinyl record.
