"The Berlin-based cello quartet Hunter Underwater is proud to present its new album Archipelago. The four cellists Guilherme Rodrigues, Guido Kohn, Gábor Hartyáni, and Hui-Chun Lin 林惠君 have co-composed this work, refining it through an intense period of experimentation. The result is a brilliant and unique musical experience.
The album features seven compositions that create sound sculptures and landscapes, transporting listeners to remote and rarely explored regions. With creative musical concepts and flawless technique, the quartet addresses themes such as environmental conservation and the cosmos. The diverse structures of the pieces reveal the quartet's evolving chamber music language, showcasing their range and maturity.
Archipelago is the quartet's second collaborative work, following their 2022 debut album Hunter Underwater. Both albums demonstrate the group's musical diversity, sensitivity, and creativity. The name Hunter Underwater is a tribute to the great marine mammals-the whales-whose intelligence and survival skills inspire the musicians. While the first album focused on these majestic creatures, Archipelago highlights the compositions created by the four cellists between 2021 and 2022. The group masterfully captures the interplay between "quiet soundscapes" and fluid movements, achieving a perfect harmony."-Creative Sources
