Winter Garden
CDR | KR26 | Edition of 150
Tucson-based Vicki Brown sonically visualizes movement in
space in her first independently-produced solo violin release.
Recorded in her Sonoran 1880's adobe abode, "Winter Garden" is
a series of sculpted sounds carved with horsehair and catgut
reflecting fluid mechanics and celestial expansion.
Playing the violin since the age of 9, Vicki has traversed the
broad territory of classical music. But in recent times, she
has begun to blaze her own trails. Her desire to go "off the
page" was met when she had the fortuitous experience of taking
a master class on improvisation with Paul Horn and discovered
that there truly are no wrong notes; it just depends on how
you place them within a context. Since then, she has been
playing with pedals and loops to re-define what it means to
play the violin.
Besides her solo project, Vicki has the pleasure of
collaborating, playing, cajoling, hanging out with, singing,
and exchanging sideways glances with many fine musician,
including: Paul Niehaus of Calexico (Winter Garden, 2006),
Campo Bravo (Songs for Messy Lovers, 2005; Goodbye, Oklahoma,
2006), The Splitters, Naim Amor (Sanguine, 2005), John Coinman
(Songs from the Modern West, 2005), Darren Hanlon (Little
Chills, 2004), The Drakes (2006), & The Rise and Fall of Amy
Rude (Snakeheart, 2005).
