BIMHUIS Records presents BIM017: Ella Zirina - Intertwined

Guitarist and composer Ella Zirina wrote her debut album, Intertwined, in residency at BIMHUIS Productions. The album’s beating heart are Ella’s improvisations, which are woven into a brimming musical bouquet, together with her trio and guest appearances by Tineke Postma. The residency gave Zirina the opportunity to compose for string quartet, bringing her music to awe-inspiring heights. On the album, the guitarist cycles through feeling misunderstood in a male-dominated jazz environment, fighting back, pedaling through periods of hopelessness and finding respite under summer sunsets in her home country, Latvia.

“When I was younger" Ella states, "I was inspired by Carlos Castenada's book The Teachings of Don Juan. I read how shamans, in states of expanded awareness, could see the energies of humans radiating outward as threads of yarn. Beings, thoughts and experiences find each other, intertwine, and weave a new fabric.”
