     Since Anne Laplantine has not released a new record for a few
     years, Ahornfelder is proud to announce the release of a new
     album by this outstanding French artist.

     Over the last years Anne moved between Vienna, Cologne,
     Hamburg, Berlin and Paris where she currently lives. This
     journey reflects her artistic personality - like an explorer
     she is constantly searching for the ideal solution and the
     right thing to say artistically. She uncomprimisingly follows
     her artistic intuition and each step of this ongoing search is
     never well prepared or calculated. The destination of her
     journey is not a safe spot somewhere in the music world. She
     is not interested in finding her musical home or in marking
     her territory, rather she seems to be most interested in the
     promising struggle of a new start.

     Maybe that's why Anne confused her audience by releasing
     records on different labels under many different guises: As
     "Michiko Kusaki" she had a release on the label Angelika
     K÷hlermann (Vienna), for Tomlab (Cologne) she recorded as
     "Angelika K÷hlermann" and "Anne Hamburg", and on Emphase
     Records (Berlin) she released a wonderful album under her
     given name. Besides her musical projects, which also involve a
     variety of impressive collaborations, she is also involved in
     an all sorts of art projects in the cities she lives in.

     On her latest releases Anne developed her very own way of
     composing electronic pop music. Concerning structure and
     harmony her music owes more to baroque polyphony than to the
     standard track format. Little lo-fi sound samples of flute,
     guitar, etc. are arranged to create fragile polyphonic
     minature-masterpieces. This fascinating and friendly way of
     composing is further developed on her album for Ahornfelder.
     But this record offers much more to discover: Concentrated
     experiments with structure and sound, beautiful songs which
     are sparsely orchestrated with guitars and an old school drum
     computer, and additionally an incorporated art project. The
     album contains 58 tracks, 34 of which are nothing but
     "silences" in between 4 to 20 seconds. But these "silences"
     are not totally silent. In these short passages you can either
     hear the first few seconds after a recording is finished, or
     you can listen to the the stage setting of the next recording
     to come. You do not hear the recorded music itself. Anne again
     seems more interested in the promising struggles of new
     beginnings - where so far nothing is said, but everything
     could be said - than in fixed results or answers.
     It speaks in favour of Anne's focused musical sensibility that
     this "silences" experiment does not dissipate her album into
     incoherent pieces. The dramaturgy of the album is conclusive
     and each little piece of silence helps to bundle the attention
     of the listener all over again.
     I love this record and so will you.
