THE ROAD TO SOUND: Michi Wiancko, Planetary Candidate
THE ROAD TO SOUND: Michi Wiancko, Planetary Candidate
BY VANESSA AGUE
“On Planetary Candidate, violinist and composer Michi Wiancko zips through chaotic extended techniques, glitchy electronics, and lilting melodies, painting a picture of the endless possibilities of modern solo violin playing. Commissioning a group of her friends to write works for her and even composing one of the pieces on the album herself, Wiancko presents an eclectic series of intimate and explosive works that illuminate her virtuosity as a musician with Planetary Candidate.”
