Portico Quartet Ensemble - Terrain (Extended) – Live in Studio One

Terrain (Extended) features an expanded version of the composition re-arranged for the Portico Quartet Ensemble – a subtle re-configuration of the band that features a string quartet - and which allowed for the compositions deeper textures and resonances to be fully explored, along the way expanding the dialogue between tranquillity and a subtly unsettling melancholy, that makes Terrain such a beautiful, powerful piece. Recorded live in the extraordinary acoustics of Studio One, in one continuous live take, with the cameras rolling.
