FROM ALBUM NOTES by Enrico Guerzoni:
These string quartets are the result of years of working with string quartets of different genres of music that ranged from classical to jazz to pop and ethnic. These compositions, although written for those who by definition are considered classical instruments, can be defined as modern enclosing various styles and genres of composition of our time, referring also to different cultures, musically and geographically speaking. There are also compositions that are suitable to be used also for educational purposes in the Conservatoire, in the Musical Institute and all music schools where the musicians wish to get to know other more unusual, but increasingly frequent practice executive use of the string instruments.

Artist(s)
Modern String Quartet, The: is a new project open to collaborators with string musicians who have great affinity to discover the music and sound of the contemporary world. The musicians who collaborate with the Modern String Quartet are all animated by the desire to share music contaminations of different genres and styles, sometimes using electronic instruments and effects as an important element in creating new sounds. Each of them took part and worked for years with string quartets such as Arkè, Kuasar, String island, Eos making their own creative and executive contribution. This common interest and common course has led them to meet and try to express themselves differently using a perfect and centenary writing form like that of the string quartet. In addition to their own original music, the collaborations are broad in spectrum, from ethnic music to jazz, to progressive rock and contemporary classics, without forgetting improvisation, which becomes another motive of creativity and diversity from what is considered the string quartet.
