Cyrnai

Country: United States

Cyrnai is the project of Carolyn Fok, an Asian American electronic musician from the San Francisco Bay Area who began experimenting with synthesizers and reel-to-reel tape as a teenager in the early 1980s. Her early records mixed industrial rhythms with flute, piano and other acoustic instruments and spoken poetry, and they grew out of the local post-punk scene. Dark Entries collected her 1980-1990 output in a vinyl box set in 2018. Cyrnai released Charred Blossoms in 1985, followed by the cassette Parts Of The Insomnic Wheel and the albums Hypno-Seizure and To Subtle-Drive.
