Info for Chariad

Vocalist Rena Meyer Wiel is taking the name of her quartet WHITE CANVAS quite literally. Similar to some of the artists she's worked with, including Bobby McFerrin and Herman van Veen, freedom of expression is of vital importance to her – and music truly constitutes an empty canvas for depicting sonic reflections on an increasingly interconnected planet. It should thus come as no surprise that, on Chariad, WHITE CANVAS are presenting a free-wheeling stylistic fusion of ethnic and archaic sounds, electronic loops and classical tonalities. There are no limits here and everything goes; from anthemic songs to free improvisation; from the boundless flight of migrant birds to the invaluable advice of an alien.

On Chariad, Rena Meyer Wiel reveals once more her universal musical home.

WHITE CANVAS means free canvas for a resonant repercussion of an ever more unlimited musically interwoven earth. Originally grown out of improvisation, the music of this ensemble represents today an aware and intuitive dialogue with our sounding world culture inheritage. The music of WHITE CANVAS - a free-style encounter of ethnical and archaic sounds, electronic loops and classical intoning. Africa and India, rain forest and desert, pulsing and flowing, overtones and strings - all of this profoundly familiar and interconnected. This is reflected in the singer´s free sound syllable language - universal words, not rooted in any language but the heart. In new land, the familiar sounds like the memory of a future.
