Album Description

To describe our music, we've picked some quotes from reviews of this recording and our previous recording. Aiding and Abetting: Floating Opera simply shines...gorgeous songwriting...A joy to hear. AAAA 1/2 (out of 5 A's). Feedback Magazine: ...the soundtrack to a very eerie Broadway musical....most of the songs, even the ones with a facade of normalcy, are tinged with that sweet, cloying smell of the monster lurking under your bed (or in it, as the case may be)...Highly recommended. Omaha World Herald: ...a stellar collection of acoustic rock, piano-driven ballads, symphonic-like pop tunes and more... What a great thing Floating Opera is. Omaha Reader: The follow-up to Floating Opera's 1993 self-titled debut, "Everybody's Somebody's Monster" is every bit as rich and rewarding... a mosaic of moods and stories that's the perfect escape from a horrible day. Cultophile Rock Review: The music is some of the best written, arranged, and performed I have heard, and it is really very beautiful. Keyboard Magazine: ...vocals, sometimes direct and unadorned, and other times wailing and warbly, waft over detailed timbral backdrops. Jersey Beat: Lead vocalist Lori Allison has a great voice and her performances are very well presented midst a harmony of excellent instrumentation and eclectic musical arrangements...A fun release, a pleasure to listen to. Lincoln Sunday Journal-Star: The Floating Opera has produced two of the best recordings to come out of Lincoln in the '90s...a brilliant collection of lush, carefully arranged, superbly played inviting songs anchored by the entrancing vocals of Allison and Ore - the two best female pop singers Lincoln has ever produced...the music is deeply woven, creating a variety of settings from driving, rock-based sounds to drifting folk-tinged pop... the lyrics add a spooky, unsettling element as they spin their dark, literate stories. Daily Nebraskan:...spectacular singing, from quiet to soaring...a great piece of work from a bunch of truly talented people. Grade: A- Omaha Reader: ...brilliant release...a somber joyride of intricate melodies and ideas beautifully put together.

Product Description

Jason Kao Hwang (b. 1957) is a highly respected improviser who also has a number of compositions and film scores to his credit. The Floating Box is a major contemporary work that gives voice not only to the Asian immigrant experience in America in particular but also to the immigrant experience in general. With the collaboration of librettist Catherine Filloux, The Floating Box is an original story inspired by the oral histories of Chinese-Americans living in Chinatown. The story of Eva/Yee-Wa, a young Chinese-American woman living with her mother, is the story of many diasporic peoples who have sought a better life in new, often harsh surroundings. The poetry of Filloux’s libretto fuses perfectly with Hwang’s eclectic score, beautifully capturing the complex, intimate relationships among these three characters. The opera employs both Chinese and Western instruments in an ensemble of eight players: piccolo/flute/alto flute; Bb clarinet/bass clarinet; vibraphone; pipa (Chinese lute); accordion; percussion, including Tibetan chimes and singing bowls, whirling air tubes, Chinese tom toms, and a Buddhist fan drum; erhu/gaohu/zhonghu (a family of two-stringed Chinese violins categorized as huqin); and cello. In Hwang’s skilled hands, these instruments together forge a rich amalgam of sound—in the composer’s words, “complex suspensions rather than homogenous solutions.” The precision with which Hwang mines each instrument’s sonic possibilities and the imaginative ways with which he draws upon subsets of the full ensemble result in a vibrant musical narrative that propels the drama forward to its conclusion. The kaleidoscopic range of musical styles employed--atonality, blues, Broadway, Chinese opera, chromaticism, impressionism, jazz, pop--establishes The Floating Box as the work of an artist who is completely comfortable bridging multiple musical worlds.

Album Description

To describe our music, we've picked some quotes from reviews of our previous recordings. Option: The resulting web of sound is entrancing, as delicate and complexly intertwined as the trap a spider weaves for a fly. Aiding and Abetting: Floating Opera simply shines... songwriting... A joy to hear. AAAA 1/2 (out of 5 A's). Feedback Magazine: ...the soundtrack to a very eerie Broadway musical... most of the songs, even the ones with a facade of normalcy, are tinged with that sweet, cloying smell of the monster lurking under your bed (or in it, as the case may be)...Highly recommended. New Review of Records: ...highly original and very nice indeed.

The Note: ...a rich and tectured fabric of music seldom heard on vocal projects... incredible songwriting.
