Artist Information

Biography

Kori’s saga is filled with a love affair for music. From the time she heard the “Beatles” as a child, she knew she wanted to create music. Kori’s parents thought it wise to have her take piano lessons. Her favorite musicians were a mix of Jazz, Rock and Classical sounds which included,Herb Alpert, Led Zepplin, Jethro Tull, Beethoven, Mozart, Shadowfax, Mannheim Steamroller, John Williams, Tangerine Dream and Will Ackerman. Kori chose to create instrumental music that infuses electronic and acoustic sounds. Her main instrument, the piano speaks with clarity, and she also can move effortlessly to the keyboards as well as Native American flute. She is also very proficient programming music software.

Kori’s album “Trillium”was nominated as Zone Music Reporter’s 2009 Album of the Year, and Best Contemporary Instrumental Album.

What sets her apart, however, is the broad range of styles she utilizes so gracefully. Kori moves between the worlds of achingly beautiful acoustic piano composition and lavish keyboard production with remarkable ease. The result is "Trillium", a cohesive collection of compositions of stunning breadth and dynamic range, confidently held together by her singular musical voice.

Apparently that wasn't a problem for Kori Linae Carothers. Her third album, Trillium is a breath of fresh air, taking modern instrumental music out of the office and off the phone queue and establishing a high watermark for other artists to follow.

You put it on and it seeps into the pores of your spirit, refreshing you, making you just a little more content. The key word for this album is diversity. Kori tackles everything from contemporary to Celtic to Native American and does it with panache. Carothers has a winner with this album and I highly recommend it.

Kori’s music has a presence, a brilliance that makes the notes crisper than mere background fare. The sound is like adjusting a telescope until you can see clearer and life finally has more focus. Carnegie Hall isn’t that far away, Kori Linae.
