On While Whirling, French-Japanese violist Frantz Loriot unleashes the essence of the viola as an explosive force. Pushing the instrument to extremes, he ceaselessly explores its most subtle and unexpected sonorities. From a single acoustic string instrument, he miraculously teases and evokes hallucinatory impressions of harpsichords pounded, bells struck, electronics cracked, dirt shoveled; Loriot has created a unique, personal music filled with moments of textured transcendence and tension-filled tenderness.

  • TRACKLIST

    SA1- the world lifts the heart
    SA2- while whirling
    SA3- through westless rains
    SA4- on the lawns of insomnia
    SB1- a throbbing whisper
    SB2- smiling with unseen weight
    SB3- those exiled belongings
    SB4- of many others whirling
