The Living Room is all about providing variety within the brief of 'classically inspired'. Hannah Peel described iyatraQuartet as 'melding their classical roots with dynamic traditional and improvised music', we at The Living Room say 'yes, please!'.
Alt-folk band, iyatraQuartet, make original music rooted in ancient melodies and folk tales. Their distinct vocal harmonies emerge from a rich sound world of soaring strings, the exuberant lyricism of the bass clarinet and sensitive percussion abound with groove. Delving into generations-old European traditions for inspiration, particularly the work of 12th century pioneering female composers, iyatraQuartet re-imagine songs and stories through their unique contemporary twist. Taking their name after the Hindi word for travel or pilgrimage, the band embraces this sense of journey through place and time in their music.
