Gabriela Smith's Carrot Revolution celebrates the spirit of fresh observation and new ways of looking at old things. Her work for string quartet is a patchwork of wildly contrasting influences and unexpected juxtapositions, ultimately drawing connections between things we don't think of as being related.

Patrick Harlin's The Wilderness Anthology is written for string quartet and pre-recorded audio soundscapes from the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest and Book Cliffs in Utah and Colorado. The work employs audio from these environmentally imperiled disappearing soundscapes (sum total of audio in a given environment) with live string quartet drawing relationships between sounds found in the natural world and those in the concert hall. Though almost entirely overlooked in the field of sustainability, soundscapes are a critical component of an ecosystem, a potential indicator of biodiversity, a valuable tool in predator and prey dynamics, and a clear signal in a frequently visually cluttered or camouflaged landscape.
