Performing in the late 1960’s and through the early 80’s
as half of the German duo Anima (with Paul Fuchs), Limpe Fuchs
continues to explore music making as a part of everyday life. Her
vibrant live performances are numerous and consist of solo as well
as ongoing collaborative works. With her new release, “Vogelmusik”
(or “Bird-music”), Limpe is heard performing a series of duos with
multi-instrumentalist Christoph Reiserer (saxes/clarinet). The duo then
extends to a trio with Julia Schoelzel (on piano), featuring a piece
recorded at Musikfest, Munich, in 2004. The themes that developed
from these recent recordings revealed a beautiful and bizarre series of
compositions that have now been collected on CD for the first time.
With an array of movements and audio dialogue amongst the performers,
the “bird-related” themes have an equally visual quality that correlate
perfectly with such titles as “Zwiegespräch” (Dialogue) and “Fliegen”
(Flying). Using her voice, violin, along with a vast assortment of custom
and homemade percussion instruments, Limpe’s work emits a remarkable
sense of space and otherworldly atmosphere that one may liken to acts
in musical theatre. “Vogelmusik” takes flight with a fresh set of utterly
unique pieces from a true musical visionary. Packaged in a full-color
digipak with illustrations by Christoph Heemann.
