Pretty song. Really like the spaciousness of the vocals and the pads.

geile produktion, volle raumwirkung, marie ^v^

apart from the obvious beauty of the words and the soothing balm of your voice, this musical moulding and sculpting is Art in the purest sense

Marie about Andersworld:
"In Robert Louis Stevenson's poems from "A Child's Garden Of Verses" a few years ago I found the lyrics I had been looking for for a long time. The poems from the middle of the 19th century describe childhood from the world view of the adult man, who - more or less twith a glorified view - looks back on it. If the German-language previous album "Fairy Bread" still addressed children (and their parents) as listeners, "Andersworld" no longer does so.
The child has grown into a lonely teenager who rigorously remixes the composed song forms while producing. The transfigured gaze gives way to a submergence into the memory: how terrifying the isolation, how painful life felt. The "marvelous place" from "Keepsake Mill" - the opener of the album - is a lost place only imagined, never experienced. No picture could be better suited to this than Thomas Lutz "Raum" - a miniature photographed with the Polaroid camera (like all cover picture): the bottom covered with water like a congealed flood of tears.
"Looking-Glass River" then picks up almost classical ideas: Schubert's "On The River" or "Der Erlkönig" (in the sense of a nature-magical ballad) are my associations that fit the child who looks at the reflecting surface of the water and loses himself in it. The voice gurgles as if under water, the music brings together the musical topos of ascension with a dancing bass drum. This is followed by the somnambulistic  "Land Of Nod", which with its erupting outro leads into "Escape Of Bedtime": The "child" cannot sleep because the stars in the sky call him out. The water, which played a role in the tracks before, is now in the rain barrel on the house wall, on whose surface the stars are reflected: It is night. 
"Night and Day" is now turning things around. Jazzy, gospel-like beginning, the track turns into a straight dance groove - but be aware: not everything here is meant seriously. "High (The Wind)" follows this mood, while "Summer Sun" expands in almost endlessly shimmering heat. Finally the wistful "Autumn Fires" reflects again farewell, death and resurrection.
And to round off the resurrection and the idea of to-outgrow-yourself, it needs the others, the colleagues and their remixes. Mar io and Zweig tracks transform "day", "escape" and "night" congenially on their own level. - I dance, so I am."

Fossa

A mix I recorded to commemorate our dear friend Árni Grétar, also known as Futuregrapher among other aliases, that passed away at the beginning of this year. All of the tracks in this mix were written and produced by him and it clearly shows how versatile of a producer he was, with his music spanning the scale from slow, soothing ambient drones to hasty drum and bass tempos.

Árni also held an important social role for the Icelandic electronic scene by organizing and being part of events and labels such as Weirdcore, Extreme Chill, Móatún, Intellitronic Bubble and many others. May you float on in ambient space, breakbeats and acid lines until eternity when we meet again brother..

"Looking-Glass River" by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)

Smooth it glides upon its travel,
Here a wimple, there a gleam ¬–
Oh the clean gravel!
Oh the smooth stream!

Sailing blossoms, silver fishes,
Paven pools as clear as air –
How a child wishes
To live down there!

We can see our coloured faces
Floating on the shaken pool
Down in cool places,
Dim an very cool;

Till a wind or water wrinkle,
Dipping marten, plumping trout,
Spreads in a twinkle
And blots all out.

See the rings pursue each other;
All below grows black as night,
Just as if mother
Had blown out the light!

Patience, children, just a minute –
See the spreading circels die;
The stream and all in it
Will clear by and by.

"Night and Day" by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)

When the golden day is done,
Through the closing portal,
Child and garden, flower and sun,
Vanish all things mortal.

As the blinding shadows fall,
As the rays diminish,
Under evening's cloak, they all,
Roll away and vanish.

Garden darkened, daisy shut,
Child in bed, they slumber -
Glow-worm in the highway rut,
Mice among the lumber.

In the darkness houses shine,
Parents move with candles;
Till on all, the night divine
Turns the bedroom handles.

Till at last the day begins,
In the east-a-breaking,
In the hedges and the whins
Sleeping birds a-waking.

In the darkness, shapes of things,
Houses, trees and hedges,
Clearer grow; and sparrow's wings
Beat on window ledges.

These shall wake the yawning maid;
She the door shall open -
Finding dew on garden glade
And the morning broken.

There my garden grows again
Green an rosy painted,
As at eve behind the pane
From my eyes it fainted.

Just as it was shut away,
Toy-like, in the even,
Here I see it glow with day
Under glowing heaven.

Every path and every plot,
Every b(l)ush of roses,
Every blue forget-me-not
Where the dew reposes,

'Up!' they cry, 'the day is come
On the smiling valleys:
We have beat the morning drum;
Playmate join your allies!'

"Escape At Bedtime" by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)

The lights from the parlour and kitchen shone out
Through the blinds and the windows and bars;
And high overhead and all moving about
There were thousands of million of stars.
There ne're were such thousands of leaves on a tree,
Nor of people in church or the park,
As the crowds of the stars that looked down upon me,
And that glittered and winked in the dark.

The Dog, and the Plough, and the Hunter, and all,
And the stars of the sailor, and Mars,
These shone in the sky, and the pail by the wall
Would be half full of water and stars.
They saw me at last, and they chased me with cries,
And they soon had me packed into bed;
But the glory kept shining and bright in my eyes,
And the stars going round in my head.

"The Land Of Nod " by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)

From Breakfast on through all the day
At home among my friends I stay;
But every night I go abroad
Afar into the land of Nod.

All by myself I have to go,
With none to tell me what to do -
All alone beside the streams
And up the mountainside of dreams.

The strangest things are there for me,
Both things to eat and things to see,
And many frightening sights abroad,
Till morning in the Land of Nod.

Try as I like to find the way,
I never can get back by day,
Nor can remember plain and clear
The curious music that I hear.

The Land Of Nod

Lyrics: Excerpts from the poem "The Wind" by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)

Originally composed as a very slow, free and ethereal jazzy song whose tempo and time signature changed, I had the idea after my first vocal recording that the whole thing should take a completely different direction. Still lascivious, but now in the fast bpm 140, a poetic dubbing of RLS "The Wind" has now turned into a fast-paced, dancing track and the text melted down to just a few words.

(High) "The Wind" by Robert Louis Stevenson (MWA adaption)

High!
I saw you toss the kites on high.
High!

And blow the birds.
And blow the birds.

And all around I heard you pass.
The sky. The sky.

High!
High!

High (The Wind)

Track written and produced by Marie Wilhelmine Anders (2018/19)
Lyrics by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)
Cover: Polaroid by Thomas Lutz & MWA

RLS expresses in his poem "Keepsake Mill" a somewhat transfigured view of the adult on his own childhood. I've shortened the text for my musical adaption to open it up to a memory that you do not know if you'll ever escape. This "marvelous place" is truly a lonely, empty and cold place.

"Keepsake Mill" by Robert Louis Stevenson (MWA adaption)

Over the borders, a sin without pardon,
Breaking the branches and crawling below,
One through the breach in the wall of the garden,
Down by the banks of the river we go.

.... humming of thunder,
Here is the weir with the wonder of foam,
Here is the sluice with the race running under –

Marvellous place
Marvellous place
Marvellous place

Marvellous place
Marvellous place
Marvellous place
Marvellous

Here is a mill with the humming of thunder,
Here is the weir with the wonder of foam,
Here is the sluice with the race running under –

Marvellous place
(Marvellous)
Marvellous place
Marvellous place
(Marvellous place)

Keepsake Mill

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 DAWs and publishing it under the pseudonym Marie Wilhelmine Anders.

Marie's conceptual thinking and her craft as a modern classical composer allow her to congenially translate non-musical concepts into a modern electronic language, influenced by techno, electronica, ambient music and drum & bass. Between 2018 and 2023 she released 6 albums, 2 EP’s, over 10 remixes and more than 20 mixes. 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.”
