Editorial Reviews While studying classical piano performance at the University of California in Irvine, Cargill teamed up with poet, co-vocalist, and lyricist Joy de Guzman, forming the group ELYN. "As for [Cargill's] music, I was excited the first time she played it for me," says de Guzman. I had never thought of putting my poetry into lyric form. Ever. But she asked me, and I listened to her, and I knew it was right. Her music and my words belonged together." The duo recorded their first full-length album, "The Fallen Ones," in 1998. Co-produced by Andrew Bush at Grandma's Warehouse in Echo Park, the album is melodic and haunting, soothing and ethereal. The songs range from gentle piano ballads to multi-layered productions with lush landscapes, and several tracks have been utilized in feature films, including "Hunger," "Judgment Day," and "Spider". "The Fallen Ones" explores pop, folk, classical, rock, and world beat stylings, featuring the dynamic percussion of Christopher Pellani, chosen as one of 10 outstanding drummers for BAM Magazine's November 1994 article on "Unsung Drumming Heroes of LA." Adding new members Burgundy Morgan (bass) and Jake Jacobs (drums) to the group, ELYN formed the band RIDDLE THE SPHINX in 2003, immediately receiving glowing reviews from the press, and a dedicated fan-base through the Los Angeles area and beyond. RTS enjoys frequent live performances, and expects to release their new album, "Vagabond," in late 2003.
About the Artist
Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter and classically trained pianist Christiane Cargill's music is passionate and multi-dimensional. Far from being pressured into studying music, Cargill insisted on piano lessons at the age of 3, while her legs were still too short to reach the pedals. She studied classical works with great enthusiasm, but found herself increasingly drawn to improvisation and songwriting. She wrote her first song at age 8, and had several albums worth of material written by the time she graduated high school.
Album Description
Lush and ethereal, ELYN blends rock-driven piano and world music percussion with haunting melodies, textured harmonies, and evocative lyrics that linger in your mind long after the songs are over.
