An existential and sometimes overlooked similarity is that rock music at its core is also chamber music: The joy of playing in a tight three- or four-piece rock band provides similar thrills of musical interaction and communication to playing a Haydn or Dvorak string quartet.<\/p>\n<p>It is these points of intersection which Matthijs van Dijk captures so wonderfully in his arrangements and paraphrases of well-known rock songs and in his own rock-inspired works. He is an award-winning composer of \u201cserious\u201d contemporary music as well as a songwriter, not to mention a seasoned string quartet violinist and a rock bassist and singer. It is this multifaceted experience that gives him a unique angle on this type of arrangement. He retains the essence of the songs without looking to use the quartet unidiomatically, and the result is often more akin to a commentary or paraphrase than a straight transcription. In fact, in the arrangement of Cream \u201cSunshine\u201d, he weaves in musical quotations of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Doors and Bob Marley in a kind of musical acid trip within a trip.<\/p>\n<p>The members of the Signum Quartet are regularly involved in recordings for top bands (including Die Fantastischen Vier or Die Toten Hosen) as well as having played in bands themselves &#8211; Xandi even sang and played bass and drums in various bands, often together with his brother Matthijs. As passionate musical omnivores, they relish the opportunity to blur boundaries and explore the deep interconnectedness of these closely related art forms.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_half-352b07ef7d3bc99b2e9f92e7a9e06bdb\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_half-352b07ef7d3bc99b2e9f92e7a9e06bdb{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_half-352b07ef7d3bc99b2e9f92e7a9e06bdb av_one_half  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_two_fifth  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?list=PLtQKtYRxrKSVTsf2xnfCjGdE2KN7YTY2v\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_two_fifth-2a64de42b738552fe666ca889af77e28\">\n.flex_column.av-av_two_fifth-2a64de42b738552fe666ca889af77e28{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_two_fifth-2a64de42b738552fe666ca889af77e28 av_two_fifth  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_hr  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-2a96ace76b2b15a3eb0ec13b23bc62af\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-2a96ace76b2b15a3eb0ec13b23bc62af{\nheight:6px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-2a96ace76b2b15a3eb0ec13b23bc62af hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-11  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLtQKtYRxrKSVTsf2xnfCjGdE2KN7YTY2v\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rock Lounge playlist on YouTube<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-bd84104f09c397338597807ab31c6aca\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-bd84104f09c397338597807ab31c6aca{\nheight:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-bd84104f09c397338597807ab31c6aca hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_two_fifth  avia-builder-el-last '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/signumquartet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3202"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/signumquartet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/signumquartet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/signumquartet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/signumquartet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3202"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/signumquartet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3202\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3251,"href":"https:\/\/signumquartet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3202\/revisions\/3251"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/signumquartet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3202"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
