An axiom is a self-evident truth. Everything on this album represents different aspects and shades of truth. On their debut recording, Axiom Quartet probes the soul and delivers a deeply satisfying statement on truth and inner fulfillment. Each track is a whirlwind journey of soul-searching expression. From the bravado of InchInsightInch into the confounding swirl of InchHindsight,Inch and on to the profoundly elegant InchPur Ti Miro,Inch this recording turns tempo and style on a dime leaving the listener exhilarated. While InchInsightInch is the exhilarating realization of truth, InchLittle LiesInch bends truth. Axiom Quartet's arrangement of the Fleetwood Mac classic is a refined, yet provocative update that feels surprisingly at home in a chamber setting. An understated dignity adds depth to country-folk standard InchWagon Wheel,Inch with a delicate banjo dancing under the Quartet's strings. In InchEverything Means Nothing to MeInch an artist painfully expresses the truth in his heart while Billie Holiday begs a lover to not tell her the truth in InchDon't Explain.Inch InchAxiomInch is a work about seeking truth and reason, only to have had the answers present from the beginning. Karl Blench wrote all of the arrangements and original compositions for this album. There are small moments of music, also original compositions of Karl Blench, between each of the longer sections of this album. They blend and blur the ideas of the music that comes before and after them to portray the grayer tones of truth. Known for creating and performing programs that mix traditional string quartet repertoire and transcriptions of works from a variety of genres, Axiom Quartet introduces audiences to extraordinary music from different genres and creates new fans of the classical repertoire.
