Songlines
Caballito Negro’s EP Songlines …”bring(s) the music to life from the first note played…expertly produced and played… – Flutist Quarterly Fall 2016
“ Brinckman plays with an absolutely gorgeous tone throughout the full range of all the instruments – even the sensuous, breathy contrabass flute, which really doesn’t call for much bel canto and Longshore’s understated virtuosity is percussion poetry at its best” – Joshua Cheek
Glass Sky – Chamber Music for Flute & Stringed Instruments
“East West Continuo, an ensemble of flute and string instruments based in Portland, Oregon, traverse many cultures in Glass Sky, a title taken from a work by flutist-founder, Tessa Brinckman. The six pieces reveal influences from Asia, Africa and Europe, with a leaning towards diverse colors, folk-oriented writing and tone-painting. The repertoire is haunting and attractive, the playing marked by temperament and subtle inflection…” – Donald Rosenburg (Gramophone)
Inner Landscape – Music for the Owl House
South African film producer, Mark Wilby, produced Inner Landscapes (2006), about the artist Helen Martins, her Owl House, and how it inspired musical homages by composer/flutist Tessa Brinckman and composer D’Arcy Reynolds.
The White Snake – Music Soundtrack
Nominated for a Joseph Jefferson Award for Best Original Music Score, 2014.
“The original score…evokes the sound and feel of China, but the music, so beautifully played…is thrilling and moving in its own right” – Theater Dogs Bay Area Backstage
“Achingly beautiful original music…” – Bay Area Theater Review
