Beo String Quartet is pleased to announce the release of our latest project entitled triggerLand. The album was created in response to a burning question being asked all over the United States: How does a society move forward in the face of unwillingness to consider new conversation or opposing points of view? “The fictional gun creation myth told by triggerLand is but a vehicle for addressing a larger issue,” writes Sean Neukom.
About the music, he says, “Featuring the virtuosic nature of the string quartet, the principal developing material of the music is found in the quartet writing, though the drum parts also play a major role. Each track embodies a different style of the progressive rock, metal, or indie rock through the lens of chamber music and modern composition.” The musical and thematic influences on triggerLand derive from a multitude of rock, pop, film, and classical sources. Hip-hop, stoner rock, Spaghetti Westerns, Dream Theater, Radiohead, and Civil War movies are but some of the sources of inspiration for the project.
The album is available on May 25th. Prepare for a journey full of mystery, wonder, horror, and myth!
