An unconventional string quartet, the Watercourse Quartet plays music that ranges from sparse and meditative, to pulsating and driving, to textural and unnerving. Consisting of Pat Reinholz (cello), Ben Willis (double bass), AJ Grimm (guitar), and Brian Grimm (cello and guqin 古琴), they draw from the traditions of Western classical, free improvisation, eastern meditative music, and flamenco. The members have extensive and diverse experience in improvisation, concert music, avant-garde performance, as well as composing for dance, theater and film. Enjoying the challenge of adapting to whatever space they perform in, they also incorporate performance art elements. shying away from no possibilities.

Open to collaborative and adaptive performance, the Watercourse Quartet revels in site-specific improvisations.
