We are on Time (Flower Seeds)


Sue Rynhrt Huw Warren by Karl Burke and Anne O'Shea

We are on time ( Flower Seeds ) Lyrics and Music by Sue Rynhart, arranged by Sue Rynhart and Huw Warren

Sue Rynhart (voice) Huw Warren (Piano)

With an extensive background in early music, classical, choral singing and improvisation, innovative Dublin vocalist and composer Sue Rynhart sings in a very unique and crystal clear voice laced with folk and jazz influences. Her compositions are an edgy blend of modern jazz and contemporary sounds pushing the boundaries of genre with her own singular vision.  Nominated for 'Best Jazz Album' in the Irish Times Ticket Awards Sue Rynhart's music has reached international critical acclaim from publications and radio including; All About Jazz, Folk Radio UK, BBC, RTV Radio Slovenia & London Jazz News.

Awarded the BBC Jazz award for Innovation, Welsh pianist and composer Huw Warren has achieved an international reputation for innovative and eclectic music making Huw has recorded two albums for ECM as Quercus with June Tabor and Iain Ballamy and albums for CAM Jazz. Warren has performed and collaborated with a wide array of musicians including Mark Feldman, Mark Lockheart, Maria Pia di Vito, Neil Yates, Joanna Macgreggor, Kenny Wheeler, Theo Bleckmann and Jim Black.

“ Back at Galway Jazz Festival, award winning pianist extraordinaire Huw Warren met rising young vocalist Sue Rynhart and they decided to jam and see what happened.  Well what happened is a slew of originals, re-thinkings, strange wonderful takes on Alban Berg, traditional Irish song and more.

Bernard Clarke, The Blue of the Night, RTE Lyric fm

Sue Rynhart Signals Album Cover

'Signals' is a collection of new songs by Sue Rynhart. Drawing on Classical and Jazz traditions, Sue places her precise, delicate voice in the starkest, most revealing of settings. Her songs are both soulful and severe, a fine fusion of the avant-garde and the emotive.

"These are beautifully sculpted vignettes that seduce on multiple levels. She's only two albums in, but already Rynhart sounds like one of the most original emerging voices in the hazy world where folk, improvisation and contemporary song entwine" - All About Jazz

“One of our most exciting young composers.” RTÉ Lyric fm

REVIEWS

'Signals' is a collection of new songs by Sue Rynhart. Drawing on Classical and Jazz traditions, Sue places her precise, delicate voice in the starkest, most revealing of settings. Her songs are both soulful and severe, a fine fusion of the avant-garde and the emotive.

“Songs that sound at once ancient and modern, with echoes of folk and early music, contemporary jazz and the avant garde, recalling Theo Bleckmann, Bjork and a hint of Joni Mitchell.” **** The Irish Times

"Signals really is one of the most exciting, rewarding and stimulating albums I've heard so far this year " - Folk Radio UK

"A rare talent." - RTÉ

"It's the haunting beauty of her voice that leaves a lasting impression." - 4.5 Stars/5 All About Jazz

"Crystalline Voice" - Sunday Times

An absorbing collection... infused with her inventive improv...” Jazzwise

"Forging an exquisite midpoint between delicate and forceful, jazz and classical, as well as contemporary and canonical sonic realms, her emotionally-dense avant-garde craft rewards an attentive ear and repeated listen." -The Thin Air​

"Watch out for angel voice Sue Rynhart" - Irish Times

"Beautiful vocalist...wonderful composition." - BBC
