For good. Cynthia is uprooting herself and her family and migrating to Seattle, Washington.
Her reason? Career-wise, she has had terribly restricted support. She is ready to embark on new challenges in her life.
Cynthia’s departure goes to be an enormous loss to local music. As a bassist, she will out-funk and out-slap lots of male virtuosos. She was, in fact, honored within the 90s by Japan mutually of the most effective there's.
Armed with Joni Mitchell-inspired open tunings, she has written pop melodies for her poems, and gave us lovely songs that sound deceptively straightforward in her lilting voice. however once you attempt to decipher her complicated guitar lines, you marvel if plays with over ten fingers.
In fact, Cynthia may be a multi-instrumentalist. Hand her a paper bag and she’ll in all probability notice the way to extract jewels of melodies from it.
Like huge brother Joey Ayala, Cynthia may be a virtuoso at arranging songs…her manner. it had been another aspect of Cynthia’s musicality that stunned me.
Also, she is simply as adept at Western harmony as she is at japanese music, unfold among several instruments.
When she gave up the concept of re-forming her previous band and going for broke as a solo artist, the result was her 1997 debut “Insomnia and alternative Lullabyes.” It incorporated japanese and Western sensibilities terribly naturally. really world-class stuff.
