Quartet Diminished

Iran/Canada
Quartet Diminished was established by Ehsan Sadigh in 2013. Quartet Diminished crafts musical moments that blend individual and collective contemporary perspectives, ranging from defined compositions to improvised phases drawing inspiration from diverse musical sources.
“Quartet Diminished is an accomplished group with a distinctive collective sound. There are just enough Middle Eastern sounds to remind the listener where they are from, but they also have an international identity—and a skill set comparable to musicians anywhere in the world” Mark Sullivan (All about Jazz Magazin) Quartet Diminished, founded by guitarist Ehsan Sadigh in 2013, is preparing to unveil their fourth album at Classical:NEXT. This upcoming avant-garde release promises a journey of sonic exploration featuring acclaimed artists Tony Levin on bass and Markus Reuter on touch guitar. The new album will be presented by MoonJune Record, renowned for its dedication to progressive music. Quartet Diminished crafts musical moments that blend individual and collective contemporary perspectives, ranging from defined compositions to improvised phases drawing inspiration from diverse musical trends, including avantjazz, contemporary, Iranian traditional rhythms and harmonics, ethnic ritual music, and 20th-century avantgarde.
