Technically a string quartet, Medusa’s material and instrumentation pushes the concept into a unique orbit. In addition to a repertoire that mixes original material with their spin on Middle Eastern, Scandinavian, Celtic, Appalachian, and Eastern European music, Medusa further stretches their sonic pallet by adding the Suka, Plosk Fiddle, Lyra and the Nyckelharpa to the conventional Violin, Viola and Cello instrumentation. By their own admission this is not western classical music:

“Wielding a sound that would turn classical music scholars to stone, these four folk musicians are reimagining the Western string quartet. By inviting back voices previously regarded as too ugly for “polite society,” Medusa tempts us to redefine what is beautiful.”

Don’t resist the temptation. These are four very talented musicians on a radically seductive mission to amaze and enchant. Highly Recommended.
