KARTET picture
Kartet is a contemporary band that has an advanced ensemble sound, an aesthetic they have been developing since their founding in 1990. Once heard, Kartet indelibly imprints on the aural centers their unique sound signature. Heard again and they will be instantly recognized. Kartet’s delicate agility makes their compositions feel relaxingly simple. They play a music in which space and time is dimensionally warped, yet the structures do not seem radical or jarring. On the contrary, they seduce the listener into believing that what is paranormal is normal and what is normal is rather disinteresting. Kartet has a quality that the Andalusians call duende, a kind of indefinable combination passion, creativity, and risk. Their singularity is such that Kartet doesn’t remind the listener of any other band but Kartet.
