The String Quartet Tribute to David Bowie

Vitamin String Quartet

Bowie's glam and art-rock legacies distilled into sharp, rhythmic chamber arrangements. Elegant, cerebral, and surprisingly funky for a string quartet.

Moments Worth Listening For
The cello's deep, resonant mimicry of the iconic bassline in 'The Man Who Sold the World' providing a haunting foundation.
The way the violins use frantic, ascending glissandos to replicate the lift-off tension in 'Space Oddity'.
The surprising rhythmic precision of the staccato bowing that captures the funky, syncopated essence of 'Fame'.
