Out now: Manivelles, de Anadol & Marie Klock

Duo improvável, projeto musical transcontinental que une a produtora e multi-instrumentista turca Gözen Atila (Anadol) à artista e poeta francesa Marie Klock , edita agora Manivelles , o segundo álbum pela label de Hamburgo Pingipung .  Anadol e Marie Klock começaram a trabalhar em conjunto após um encontro ocasional num festival em Inglaterra. Praticam uma fusão artística única onde a electrónica abstracta e o pop psicadélico misturam influências da Anatólia com a tradição da chanson francesa, de forma subvertida e anárquica. Entre sonoridades avant-pop , indietrónica e  synth-pop experimental, estabelecem bases para performances imprevisíveis e teatrais. As colagens sonoras de  Anadol, malhas complexas com sintetizadores analógicos e texturas radiofónicas, servem de terreno fértil ao sponken word de Marie Klock, com poemas a jogar entre o absurdo e um humor mordaz, criando um universo musical estimulante. Muito recomendável!  Manivelles by Anadol & Marie...

Caso sério! Levar a orquestra ao limite dos limites. Explorar a infinitude do som, do sentir e do querer. Anna þorvaldsdóttir, ou Thorvaldsdottir, mais a nosso jeito, compositora Islandesa dos nossos dias, nascida em 1977. Levar a orquestra a uma implosão capaz de provocar um buraco negro na audiência, em busca de uma nova energia primordial. Caso muito sério, Anna þorvaldsdóttir!!
