The first record "Malinche" by Taunus was mostly focused on
minimal, interlocking folky guitar-patterns. "Harriet" on the
other hand features more contrasting elements: Strictly
composed passages, which are rigid and static in character,
are combined with free, fluid and improvised parts.
Dissonances enter a framework of open tuned folk-harmonics.
And on top of the warm and immediate sounds of acoustic
intruments an artificial voice generator talks about the
inconstancy of concepts and theory. By bridging and sometimes
even blurring these contrasts and differences, Taunus expand
their way of musical expression. "Harriet" successfully
explores new ways of composing interesting, reflective and
charming music based on fingerpicked guitars. The album is
named after Darwin's lady freshwater turtle "Harriet", which
died in 2006 at the age of 175 years. She was mistakenly
thought to be a male exemplar of her species for most of her
life.
