Knurl quartet

Knurl Quartet is an art science music ensemble formed by Jan Willem Troost (NL), Katerina Papakostaki (GRE), Rafaele Andrade (BR) and Lucija Gregov (CRO). We form a quartet of an innovative cello instrument format called Knurl. By realizing art media productions with the instrument, we produce testing cycles of design and technology development testing and exploring the boundaries of a music instrument design, as a nucleus of every artistic research and practice.
