Song Review/ Classical : Kirsten Agresta Copely’s ‘Kuruvinda’
Kirsten Agresta Copely is a Grammy-winning harpist and composer who explores the radiance of being human in her upcoming album ‘Kuruvinda’. Her ability to use tender melodic structures to convey the complexity of being human is enchanting. Her latest release is the title track of the album, giving us a little teaser on what to expect in the collection.
The song with its lighter than light instrumentals float by, as if in a reverie. Like dust floating in a ray of sunlight, there seems to be a kind of soft magnificence that lights up the whole song. The word, ‘Kuruvinda’ originates from Sanskrit, meaning flawed by radiant ruby. Through the suspended melodies in this composition, Kirsten seeks out the beautiful layers that flaws add to a person, drawing it all out and placing it in front of the listener with a gentleness and fragility of a drifting feather in the breeze.
