Annette Schmucki loves to press the repeat mode button (you know, like that thing on antique cds players !). In "Repeat one_two songs", she voluntary creates confusions between live and pre-recorded voices of Myriam Pruvot and Antoine Läng. The two well known vocal exprerimentalists react to an audio score onyl they can hear, over an accompaning track.
Beyond the technic, Annette Schmucki assembles multiple languages, spoken and sung voices, phrases, words, sounds, in an new abstract poetry that occasionnaly turns into an almost pop song. Will you guess what are Myriam and Antoine's favorite songs at the core of the piece while Annette is zooming on the mecanical fonctions of the mouth ?

The INSUB. label has just launched “Insub.distances,” a series of eight recordings that try to bring musicians, and places, together through a deliberate process of collaboration across the miles and miles and miles. A composer produces material (a score, pre-recorded audio) for a musician to work with in collaboration with another one, treating the music with electronics. Each recording has a companion video on YouTube that shows the process in action—split screen with each performer in their own home space. The primary point of contact on the listener’s end is the digital recordings, which have a quiet, bespoke intimacy that is reinforced by the performers connecting their own personal spaces—in Annette Schmucki’s Repeat one_two songs, I kept staring at what was on percussionist Myriam Pruvot’s bookshelves. Like a lot of the music-with-video seen during the pandemic, prerecorded performances are more vibrant than live streaming ones, they fit right into the mental space that has long ago been carved by the cultural existence of reproduction.
