Marianne Schuppe / Deborah Walker - Two Paths (elsewhere 038)

---

​Swiss-based German vocalist/composer Marianne Schuppe and Berlin-based Italian cellist Deborah Walker present two duo works: Aus dem Zeltbuch, co-composed by Schuppe and Walker; and Occam River XXIX, a piece by French composer Éliane Radigue. This Radigue piece is being released on CD for the first time.

Aus dem Zeltbuch (2022/23), based on a text-collage by Marianne Schuppe, reveals a surface of a word-sound texture on the edge of acoustic intelligibility. Aus dem Zeltbuch questions our perception of language in a musical context by creating bilingual areas of sound. As words and sounds overlap, they may reveal a path of sound through narration, meaning, and understandability.

Occam River XXIX (2023) is part of Occam Océan, a large body of work that Éliane Radigue began in 2011. The compositional process involves imagery, oral transmission, and memory, resulting in a creative relationship between the composer and the performers. Like all the pieces in the Occam Océan series, Occam River XXIX was made for and with Schuppe and Walker through a close collaborative process. The music develops from the inner life and nature of sounds, their spectral complexity, internal evolution, and mutual interaction. It features a unique approach to being inside a sound together and reacting subtly to what is constantly becoming.
