About
New York City-based flutist and composer Tessa Brinckman has created a wide landscape of contemporary flute solos and duos, much of it in distant collaboration with acclaimed artists and composers from France, USA, Japan, South Africa, and her native New Zealand (Todd Barton, Norio Fukushi, Andile Khumalo, Shirish Korde, Cara Stacey, Kathleen Supové, Caroline Delume, and Horomona Horo). Her multiple flutes entwine with the culturally and temporally diverse sounds of Buchla, water tanks, taonga pūoro, guitar, prepared piano, field recordings and a poem. Take Wing, Roll Back invites the listener to geo-poetic worlds past and present, infused with humor, pathos and drive, offering a warm kind of futurism.
