To keep spirits up while the studios are quieter than normal, we’re bringing back some of our favorite projects, stories, and collaborations. #TBT this week comes courtesy of the New York Times and Kronos Quartet.

This session was a real treat–an intimate, multimedia recording session with one of the world’s premier quartets, San Francisco’s Kronos Quartet–and the end result reflects it! Last week we talked about Dubway’s collaboration with Warm Audio and Rozzi, and this week we have another studio collaboration, with Kronos Quartet and The New York Times, bringing you a data visualization of the quartet as they work through a piece of music. The recording took place in our downtown studio in 2014, over the course of a rainy day in the Mezzanine.

More than we can write here, this recording is deeply interesting and best learned about from the source. Take a look at the video and read the piece over at the Times’ site, and check the quartet’s website–they’re always releasing new music.
