String quartet in Octatonic mode (except movement 3 in which the viola switches to Dorian while the rest stay in octatonic, creating a fascinating effect).
There are also a few cheeky quotes from the more classical modes, including a Cockney
"Have a banana" phrase in the viola part in various places
and the fourth (last) movement quoting a version of Rock a by baby
This has been performed on a few occasions to great effect (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNctKjXYZ8k for the first performance in 1997), but I have used an electronic preview of the first movement for the purposes of illustrating the piece here.
The zip file contains the scores and parts of all four movements.
