INTERIORITY

oto283

l`Ombre

For this album, photographs by Thomas Lutz illustrate a narrative that is recounted with my music. A person - let’s call them „She“ - who leaves her parent’s house to lead an independent life. But then for whatever circumstances, she faces the danger of homelessness.

„She’s Leaving“, the title track, is inspired by an experience at age 17, when I left my parent’s house and carried a box of my things on foot to my new home. On my 38th birthday - the day my grandmother died - I wrote this piano piece.

„Variation I“ features a modified piano with sound built in the granular synthesizer. In „Variation II“ and „III“ this process is continued with addition of instruments and spatial effects.

„Night Tube“ is both a further variation and a reminiscence of „Waking the Witch“ by Kate Bush. Taken from the second side of her „Hounds Of Love“ LP, the concept piece „The Ninth Wave“ tells the story of a girl floating alone on the sea in a life raft. Voices of her family in her fantasy awaken her again and again, saving her from falling asleep, freezing to death and drowning.
In „Night Tube“ I think of a homeless person who nods off in the London subway at night and is startled, again and again, by inner and outer voices. In the metaphorical sense, it’s also about being scared awake in one’s own circumstances. There are currently an estimated 59,000 homeless women in Germany.

„Without A Sound“ closes the album. With this remix of the piano piece „She’s Leaving“ I tried to capture some of the emptiness and quiet vastness of Ryuichi Sakamoto’s music („async“). The trumpet samples come from a nocturnal jam session in the recording studio of the Stuttgart Musikhochschule in which I was involved.

With the additional „Threads of Reflections“ remix*, Belial Pelegrim contributes a unique cinematic soundscape with a generous and gentle atmosphere.

MARIE WILHELMINE ANDERS is a wanderer in music. Musically and instrumentally trained since her earliest childhood, she received her first technical training as a sound engineer at GDR television. She played keyboards in a punk band in the East Berlin underground music scene, created field recordings and sound installations, studied classical composition at the University Of The Arts Berlin, and graduated as a music teacher at the Musikhochschule Stuttgart. In Stuttgart she was an active part of the experimental improvisational scene playing piano as well as a set of electronics. There she founded two ensembles, "Unterton" and "Hammerhaus", both of which brought together groove and free-flowing improvised forms from different perspectives. Additionally, she initiated and directed “momentmusik"—a concert series for experimental and improvised music, visual arts, performance and spoken word, which established the connection between her ensembles and the national and international scenes. 

In 2005 she ended her concert activity and moved back to Berlin. Eager for new forms of expression, Marie learned to play the electric bass, and began producing her music using Cubase and publishing it under the pseudonym Marie Wilhelmine Anders. After discovering the poems of the Scottish poet, Robert Louis Stevenson, she began to develop her new electronic musical language incorporating and building upon his verses. Marie's conceptual thinking and her craft as a modern classical composer allow her to congenially translate his lyrics into a modern electronic language, influenced by techno, electronica and ambient music. Between 2018 and 2021 she released 4 albums which built upon each other and referred to Stevenson’s work (including a remix album of her tracks), and more will follow. As a producer, Marie likes to work alone and independently. She is also increasingly in demand as a remixer.

Her best friend writes: "Marie works her way out of all restrictions and experiments with styles and musical directions.Thereby she adapts formal means and creates something very much her own out of it. As always, I am impressed by her accuracy in everything she does. Marie is the secret Phoenix among my friends, who every time after it has turned to ashes, puts on a new and even more splendid plumage. I have great admiration for her consistency, uncompromising artistry, unconditional honesty, absolute fidelity and loyalty. One speaks of the Phoenix as an eternally youthful bird. And he can fly.”
