Description
The Hebrew title carries two meanings: both the flowing of the sand in the hourglass and the hourglass sand lying still. In this string quartet, time slows down until it has almost stopped, whilst at the same time trajectories are intensified. The slow flow of time makes it possible to discern the smallest details of a texture or a sound. (Chaya Czernowin)
