Today, the Spotlight shines On vocalist, composer, and improviser 王睿琪 Ruiqi Wang (pronounced as “Ray-Chee Wong”).
Ruiqi Wang creates stunning experimental music, combining influences from jazz, contemporary Euro-classical music, and traditional Chinese music.
Ruiqi Wang joined me earlier this year on the heels of the release of her debut album, Subduing the Silence, out through Orchard of Pomegranates. This profound, 36-minute album boasts an all-female cast of collaborators and expresses a musical vision seldom articulated in a debut work.
In addition to composing, performing, and recording in a variety of contexts and projects, Ruiqi Wang is pursuing a Masters degree in Music Composition - Contemporary Jazz at the Bern Academy of the Arts in Switzerland.
(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are from Ruiqi Wang’s album Subduing the Silence)
