ABOUT
CV_Link LongerBio
Her chamber music aesthetic, polished from years of top notch classical performance, is apparent in her intensely intimate and sensitive approach to improvised music, composition and intermedia installation and performance. Conservatory trained as an oboist, she is now a multi-instrumentalist playing Eastern and Western double reeds, single reeds, whistles and avant-fiddle. She played on a Grammy winning recording with the Chicago Symphony and led the highly regarded improvised trio with Tatsu Aoki and the late Joseph Jarman. She is a regarded composer, visual artist, puppeteer, creative technologist, presenter and educator in oboe, responsive media performance, interactive installation and intermedia composition.
Press
Haunting, poetic and mesmerizing recording [with] goosebump-inducing emotional depth.
Introspective, lyrical, and steeped in mysticism.
Call it the miseducation of Robbie Hunsinger: a classically trained double-reed player, proficient on the oboe and several of its cousins, takes a left turn from Music of the Baroque and sinks waist deep in Chicago's fertile avant- garde ...[with] protean instrumental skills
From the strange instrumentation (music box piano, Tibetan singing bowls) to eerie electronics, the performance was mesmerizing."
If Hunsinger didn’t play her instruments so well, I’d simply call her a performance artist. But she’s plainly talented, deeply learned and wildly inventive in both her techniques and concepts. I just call her one of Nashville’s most important artists, and our best ambassador for more crossover at the edges of our city’s art and music scenes.
Robbie Lynn Hunsinger’s interactive audiovisual project [Constellation] is a genius bit of responsive technology that merges the movements of participants with sound and animation."
Hunsinger's woodwind playing recalls the Eastern-influenced post-bebop sound that John Coltrane found on Live at the Village Vanguard
The mashup of technology used in the exhibit is great...Once people enter the exhibit and start stepping, rolling, jumping or doing whatever the art compels them to do then the exhibit comes alive with light and sound. “Blue-Yellow-Red” is a fascinating exhibit that lets participants interact with the technology and experience light and sound with all their senses."
