Anne Clark - Live - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

After Anne Clark had been on tour for 10 years, playing mainly electronic music, the time had come to do an acoustic tour for the first time. In 1994 this live album was recorded in the Passionskirche in Berlin. Anne Clark chose the title InchPsychometryInch because this concert was an example of how objects, buildings and places can capture the energy of people and events.Anne Clark already had a stable band with Andy Bell, Martyn Bates, Paul Downing, Gordon Reany, Michelle Chowrimootoo and Ida Baalsrud. Andy gave Anne a whole new range of sounds and offered her a completely new way of working with machines and computers, integrating acoustic instruments and straightforward emotional vocals.The result of this collaboration was an incredibly successful tour, which was very well received by the fans !

Following the creative songwriting collaboration between Anne Clark and Martyn Bates for (The Law Is An Anagram Of Wealth, 1992 and To Love And Be Loved, 1995) and also (Psychometry - Live At The Passionskirche, Berlin, 1993), in 1997, the pair embarked on a project, a tribute, to one of their favourite poets - Rainer Maria Rilke. Although a writer primarily of the early 20th Century, the timelessness, profundity and universal reach of his work remains a continued influence and companion to so many people.Working primarily with the English translations of German/English scholar J. B. Leishman and adapting the texts appropriately and, hopefully, respectfully, Rilke's poems are placed in various frames of folk-influenced and sparse electronic music. Combined with Anne's unique poetic delivery and Martyn's soaring vocals, the album offers an intimate and sensitive interpretation of one of the world's most significant poets. Album Tracks 1.
