Loup Barrow's Otherworldly Music For Cristal Baschet, In-Studio
Listen now
Description
The Cristal Baschet is a very rare and delicate otherworldly-sounding glass organ comprised of 56 chromatically-tuned glass rods. Only a handful of musicians on this planet play the instrument professionally; one of them is Loup Barrow, a French musician and composer. Barrow has been a committed instrumentalist since first taking violin lessons at age 5; he’s also focused on drums, Moroccan percussion, steel pan, and the glass harp. He features the Cristal Baschet, with piano and orchestra, on a striking album called Immineo, which might bring to mind Arvo Pärt or the 11th-century German composer, mystic, and abbess Hildegard Von Bingen. Recently, Loup Barrow spent a few hours here in our studio assembling this sound sculpture to play it, in-studio. - Caryn Havlik Set list: 1. Northern Lights 2. Passio
