Kaoru Watanabe’s Bloodlines [Kaoru Watanabe: Shinobue (Japanese flutes) and Western Flute, Sara Schoenbeck: Bassoon, Marika Hughes: Cello, Mathias Kunzli: Percussion]
The individual musicians in the quartet, Bloodlines, have been working together to create a musical collage representing anecdotes from our family histories. The resulting music is at once intensely personal while celebrating the commonalities people have shared over generations, countries and cultures. The rehearsals for Bloodlines have been equal parts playing and discussing musical structure and simply sharing these stories with each other and conceiving ways to sculpt them into music.
