dis/con/sent

dis/con/sent is the string quartet of Dietrich Petzold on violin, viola and bowed metal, Ernesto Rodrigues on viola, Guilherme Rodrigues on cello and Matthias Bauer on double bass.

Creative Sources documents the quartet on dis/con/sent (CS563), Ulrichsberg (CS700) and München (CS800). The latter preserves an unedited live concert from Munich in June 2023; the quartet has also made recordings outside the Creative Sources catalogue, including Kompositionen.

The group's evolving approach draws on the history of contemporary string writing while creating forms through improvisation, extended bowing techniques, unusual resonances and the changing balance of four distinct string voices.
