LIMPE FUCHS – Gestrüpp

Beschreibung

Limpe Fuchs is a legend in the experimental music scene. In the late sixties, this percussionist drummed on self-made instruments, together with her then husband Paul Fuchs, in the Ensemble Anima. During that time, Limpe and Paul Fuchs cooperated with the classic pianist star Friedrich Gulda, as well as with jazz luminaries like Albert Mangelsdorff, and continually attracted the interest of their audiences in new constellations. Limpe Fuchs‘ solo performance with „variable wood and stone rows, ringing bronze in the pendulum strings, and a variety of skin and bronze drums“ is a rare occasion to witness one of the early avant-gardists of the scene from the old Federal Republic Of Germany. She attempts, while playing live, to develop her musical ideas from the „resonance of the location where the performance takes place“ – „to make music in the flow of time, with simplicity and emotion“! Her main concern is to sensitize the process of hearing: „Every tone is a sensation. Listening instead of shutting one’s ears. Establishing silence.“
