Rick Baitz was in Our Mezzanine Studio this past week tracking a string quartet for his original composition, Chthonic Dances. The piece features very detailed interlocking melodic patterns that highlight the rich tones of the string instruments. Chthonic Dances is approximately 30 minutes in length and can be played throughout or a shortened version with an alternate ending. The Work was funded in part by the composer assistance program of the American music center
