1) Invert is a unique New York City based string quartet performing original new music composed by its members, and their own arrangements of other composer’s works. Invert’s name is taken from their literal inversion of the traditional string quartet format - they feature two cellos instead of the usual two violins.
Drawn from diverse, eclectic musical backgrounds, Invert’s members defy tradition by being firmly rooted in rock, jazz and world musics rather than the classical upbringings typical of most string players. These influences are reflected in their compositions, which range from pieces evocative of soundtracks from Expressionist cinema to driving melodic works that often feature open sections of improvisation.
Since it’s debut in August 1999, Invert has regularly performed at many renowned New York venues, including The Knitting Factory, Trintity Church, The Kitchen, Irving Plaza, The Cutting Room, Joe’s Pub, and Makor. They were featured on The Kitchens “String Summit,” have recorded string accompaniments for two releases by legendary indie rockers Guided By Voices, and have appeared on bills with artists as diverse as Mission of Burma, Erik Friedlander, Carla Kihlstedt’s Two Foot Yard, American Analog Set, Quasi, and Rasputina.
In February, October and November of 2005 they toured the United States in support of Quarterstick recording artists, Rachel’s, and sat in with them augmenting their string section on a number of pieces during their performances. Audiences from Texas, to California, to the Northwest and back through the heartland responded enthusiastically to Invert’s unique sound.
