LA女性声音艺术家Carolyn Fok的第一张专辑。

This LP is Fok’s first release as Cyrnai on Mind Matter Records. Less reliant on electronics than her subsequent albums; guitar, bells, flute, piano and saxophone appear and disappear throughout. Murky spacey dense.
An off-shoot of the guitarist of the group a State of Mind (San Francisco), which is an anarchist collective who believe in the diversity in sound and creativity and thought. A very layered and continuous experience, fluid, spacey, a bit of the psychadelic (ringing bells) with everything slightly affected. The packaging is well designed and illustrated with a booklet included (prose, poetry all very tragic and internal). Recommended for the care and complexities.
Cyrnai is the pseudonym for multimedia artist Carolyn Fok, who is truly representative of the quintessential. She is not simple an artist. An accomplished painter, musician and writer, Fok has a lot of work in many differnet media and in several mediums at once in many cases. In addition to her creative work, she runs an independant label, Titanium, which released Transfiguration from her alter-ego. Artist, business person, musician; Fok wears many masks. The true mark of the new renaissance.
Transfiguration itself is the culmination of writings, paintings and music from life experiences captured into Fok's diaries. Her experiences transferred to her diaries give the artist Cyrnai fodder for creation. Devoting time and energy into creativity was an excellent method of catharsis. Her discipline and talent has brought her recognition that was probably never intended when she sought refuge in her art, but is a necessary consequence of creating excellent work.
At the very core of Carolyn Fok's work is the constant message of duality. Fok got started with her solo career in 1985 when she was just 18 years old. That was when Charred Blossoms was released under the name Cyrnai. But even before that release, Fok had already been performing with several bands in San Francisco. After Charred BLossoms received numerous critical acclaimations. Fok has been working with music since a young age and has been combining mediums into unified artwork since. Expect nothing short of incredible from that avenue of her art.

Cyrnai
Real Name: Carolyn Fok
Cyrnai is Los Angeles-born painter, writer and electronic musician Carolyn Fok. She self-produced a number of cassettes and eventually released Charred Blossoms (1985). It took a decade to release the follow-up, the ambitious multimedia project Transfiguation (1996), and then The Listener (2000), which is less ambitious but perhaps more accomplished.
