Kori Linae Carothers

Kori Carothers is, without question a brilliant pianist and composer. What sets her apart, however, is the broad range of styles she utilizes so gracefully. Kori moves between the worlds of achingly beautiful acoustic piano composition and lavish keyboard production with remarkable ease. The result is "Trillium", a cohesive collection of compositions of stunning breadth and dynamic range, confidently held together by her singular musical voice.

Kori's "Trillium" project is a brilliant coalescence of acoustic and electronic music that carries the listener through an array of cinematic imageries to pure dancing in the aisles.

The coast to coast roster of amazing artists adds textures and colors to Kori's heartfelt soundscapes.

Your music is beautiful - I happened to listen to the CD during a light rain shower and it blew me away. Wonderful stuff. You're truly a gifted artist!

Mission Viejo musican Kori Linae Carothers sets out to change the face of New Age music. The local artist isn't concerned with labels; she just wants to make great music.

I highly recommend Kori's CD "The Road Less Traveled." She writes beautiful music. I happened upon her songs on the New Age Internet radio station "Internet Oasis." She is just beginning on what I believe will be a long and successful career in music. Thank you for sharing your music Kori!

Trillium is kind of like aromatherapy for the ears. You put it on and it seeps into the pores of your spirit, refreshing you, making you just a little more content. The key word for this album is diversity. Kori tackles everything from contemporary to Celtic to Native American and does it with panache. Carothers has a winner with this album and I highly recommend it. - RJ Lannan - Zone Music Reporter

When William Ackerman signs on to produce for an artist it creates an expectation of quality and musicianship that can be hard to match. Apparently that wasn't a problem for Kori Linae Carothers. Her third album, Trillium is a breath of fresh air, taking modern instrumental music out of the office and off the phone queue and establishing a high watermark for other artists to follow. - Wildy's World

"On her second album, pianist/keyboardist Kori Linae Carothers paints on a more dramatic canvas than on her debut CD, layering synths (mostly strings, chorals and washes) underneath her passionate piano melodies."

Although Carothers has additional influences like Vangelis and Tangerine Dream, her music has its own unique therapeutic effect. Kori’s music has a presence, a brilliance that makes the notes crisper than mere background fare. The sound is like adjusting a telescope until you can see clearer and life finally has more focus. Carnegie Hall isn’t that far away, Kori Linae. - RJ Lannan

I am hard to impress, but this CD is one of the best I've heard in 5 years. All of the tracks are written by Kori, and they display her talent beautifully! "The Day, The Road Less Traveled, A Father's Wish, and Judgement" are mandatory additions to ANYone's collection! If you like any faction of New Age or Easy Listening, this CD is for you!
