While Whirling by Frantz Loriot
On While Whirling, French-Japanese violist Frantz Loriot presents a thrilling and radical musical language; with a total mastery he explores the viola’s outer limits and reveals a near endless spectrum of sounds filled with subtle and unexpected sonorities. From a single acoustic instrument, he seemingly miraculously teases hallucinatory impressions of harpsichords pounded, bells struck, electronics cracked, dirt shoveled; Loriot has created a unique, personal music teeming with moments of textured tenderness andtension-filled transcendence.
