Illuminati-quartet

Illuminati Quartet ^Ω
A New York City-based experimental string quartet active throughout the 1980's. Members of the quartet were exclusively masked - any consistency in regards to personnel is therefore difficult to determine. The group collaborated often within the downtown no-wave scene, contributing strings to music by the esd and <a href="../neon-babylon/"> Neon Babylon </a> , among others. As a solo entity, the Illuminati Quartet (IQ) focused its energies primarily on both modern and medieval music - recording work Purcell ^error , alban-berg ^error , and, perhaps most notably, error , whose error became a staple of the group ¹ .

¹ Its popularity perhaps more widely attributable to the helicopter-fetish prevalent in the cultural zeitgeist.
