Proper Nostalgia, the third, wondrous album from San Francisco-based Friction Quartet

Showcasing an innovative spirit of making music, a studio art piece free from analog constraints, and transfigured by an era of technology, this release features four new commissions by composers Michi Wiancko, Andrew M Rodriguez, Alex Dowling, and Isaac Io Schankler. Given no restraints for creative process than “treat the studio and production as part of the art,” the composers were able to create freely and fiercely. Proper Nostalgia, the album title, is that of Andrew M Rodriguez’s piece, and it is quite evocative of that freedom.
