Изабелла ЭффенбергИзабелла Эффенберг (1977 г.р.) – польская джазовая мультиинструменталистка (вибрафон, аррай-мбира, стеклянная арфа и др.) и мастер спорта по каратэ. Изучала классическую музыку в консерваториях Познани и Гданьска, позже получила степень бакалавра и магистра джаза в Музыкальной академии Нюрнберга. Играла с различными ведущими музыкантами, такими как Тони Лакатош, Лешек Задло, Ниппи Ноя, Ян Лундгрен, Николь Йоханнтген, Магнус Острём, Штеффен Шорн, Эфрат Алони, Квадро Нуэво, Норберт Нагель, Ларс Даниэльссон, Нильс Ландгрен, Марк Мондезир, Катя Риманн, Владислав Сендецкий, Анджей Олейничак и многие другие. Ее дебютный альбом Cuéntame (на котором она выступила в качестве вибрафонистки) был записан Баварским радио при поддержке Департамента культуры Нюрнберга. На этом диске, кроме немецких музыкантов, к ней присоединилась известная израильская певица Эфрат Алони. В 2014 году Изабелла основала ежегодный фестиваль Vibraphon в Metropolregion Nürnberg. На альбоме 2019 года Crystal silence - Music for Array Mbira Эффенберг представляет очень редкий инструмент аррай-мбиру (т.н. «африканское ручное фортепиано» с самым большим 5-октавным диапазоном звучания, чей звук отдаленно напоминает звучание арфы с легким оттенком ксилофона). Изабелла также играет на стеклянной арфе (известной также как «ангельский орган» или «поющие бокалы»), изготовленной компанией Glass Instrument Maker G2. На этом очень интересном инструменте, изготовленном из специально настроенных вручную бокалов для вина, играют, проводя пальцами по краю бокала. С 2021 года является официальным представителем компании Yamaha. Любопытный факт: Изабелла Эффенберг также является восьмикратным польским чемпионом по сётокан каратэ, а также обладательницей серебряной медали по этому виду спорта на чемпионате Европы в 1999 году.

Liner Notes:
"I get carried away immediately when I start to listen . CRYSTAL SILENCE brings us on a journey out into space, dreaming with eyes wide open.
The planets are passing by as we travel from one to another . PRIMAVERA : Waking up slowly in the morning , looking out over the foggy meadow at dawn. There is a reindeer jumping across the field . Running faster , she reaches the forest. We try to find the animal , but she has gone …….
HE: Now we are diving deep under the sea , away from the real world, into mystery , beautiful fishes are swimming beside us . Our minds are filled with moments of the now . DAVE BUBECK : We are back at the railway station , waiting for the train to arrive . Its a stressful world , but I am trying to ignore that , with the belief that everything will be ok …….
LOZ ABRAZOS is one of my favorites on the album … sufficiently weird but still suggestive.
Music cannot be described in words , but I tried to explain what kind of thoughts the new album by Izabella Effenberg could potentially give to the listener.
When she plays the Array Mbira, she is telling stories , that create many pictures .The sound is dreamy , but also direct . I like the difference in the music from very sensitive simple themes, to the more complex, in terms of harmony and melody . I also hear a lot of other sounds, which are not in the compositions ; these appear only in my fantasy.
That is something I like in art : when the audience is given the opportunity to imagine things for themselves . Probably you will like it as much as I do, as there is so much beauty
Sit back and enjoy."
