The Wild Strings was conceived as a double quartet of three guitars and acoustic bass, violin, viola and two cellos. But instead they had to make do with only four: a violin and 3 guitars. Playing in a more pastoral vein the music touches on European Classical, Flamenco and North African cultures. Recorded in Bath in 2001 and mixed at AndersonShelta in Bristol 2002, this is a mainly live studio recording with added overdubs. Of the 7 tracks, 4 are reinterpretations of the earlier works of John McLaughlin, arranged for the group by Marco Anderson. Since then, Marco Anderson has joined the Groundhogs, and Ale Fernandez, the Orchestra Cube. Members: Ale Fernandez - Classical Guitar Philip Gibbs - Guitar, Prepared Guitar Marco Anderson - Guitar, Production, Keyboard, Cajon Peter Evans - Violin and String Samples Additional Musicians: Ron Savage: Acoustic Bass Vocals: Basira Ward-Davies <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Wild+Strings+Quartet">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
