Uakti: New Music for Flute
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Matthias Ziegler is a virtuoso flute player, but he doesn't favor classical showpieces like "Flight of the Bumblebee." Instead, he works along the avant-garde, exploring the timbres and textures of traditional concert flutes, as well as some bizarre-looking hybrids that could've come from Rube Goldberg's plumbing shop. A Swiss musician who has worked with Andreas Vollenweider as well as American contemporary composer George Crumb, Ziegler walks a fine line between accessibility and exploration. Overdubbing multiple flutes and using unusual miking techniques to draw out the overtones, Ziegler creates a unique soundworld. Long, drawn tones create cello-like ambiences on one piece, while folk melodies pop up in others. His hybrid instruments sound like a cross between a Chinese sho and a flute, at other times like a distended bassoon.
The name of the CD, Uakti, is derived from a Brazilian Native myth about a creature perforated with holes who runs through the forest, the wind blowing phantom melodies through his body. Ziegler has brought that creature to life. --John Diliberto

The new sound of flute music.......2002-04-18
Matthias Ziegler may not yet have taken the world by storm, but he will certainly change your perspective on the way a flute should sound. Playing all voices of flutes, including the very amazing Kotato contrabass, Ziegler will amaze you with not only his brilliant compositions, but with his unique sound. Every music lover, regardless of their feelings on the avant garde and new stream music, should own this cd.
