Amber
A string quartet that unfolds with color, emotion, and an unmistakable edge.
Amber offers a left-of-center sound. Darker, softer, fuller—the violins, viola, and cello were tuned down a fourth to accentuate their unique characteristics. Amber’s dry studio sound lays the foundations for modern scoring techniques, but dive a little deeper and you’ll discover a compelling string quartet that gives your music an unconventional and vibrant quality.
