After several years of touring with The Dead Texan and a stintas a touring member of Sparklehorse (summer 2007) Christina started making music of her own. Over a three-year period, using synthesizers, samples, and her own voice, and working by ear, with Reason, and a homemade library of orchestral samples, Christina meticulously pieced together a 45-minute music composition. In 2010 she began working with Minna Choi (director ofMagik*Magik orchestra), who translated the digital score to sheet music for a seven-piece ensemble. This collaboration culminated in recording sessions with Magik*Magik at Tiny Telephone in San Francisco. The album was mixedand mastered in Brussels and will be released on Kranky on October 24, 2011. Titled N1, it is the first installment of a planned series of recordings by Christina with an orchestra component.
