RYOANJI
Christine Tavolacci with Bonnie Whiting
Released March 10, 2016 - purchase album via Orenda Records
Ryoanji is Los Angeles based flutist Christine Tavolacci's debut solo recording. Released on Orenda Records, the album contains one single, long form realization of John Cage's iconic 1983 graphic score of the same name, and features percussionist and Cage scholar Bonnie Whiting.
A virtuosic flutist who has spent nearly fifteen years studying and performing experimental music, Christine has approachedRyoanji as a meditation on the minutiae of sound production on the flute - the rate of speed at which air leaves the lungs and travels through the instrument, the breaking points between traditional flute sounds, Aeolian sounds and whispers, the specific motions made by fingers as they lift from the keys.
