Anne Laplantine, native Frenchwoman and citizen of Berlin by choice,
belongs to the rare species of musicians who speak a unique musical
language. We even venture to claim that it's a new language in the field
of electronic pop music. Concerning structure and composition, Anne
Laplantine's music owes more to the baroque fugue than to the
track-format. In addition to that, her sound is also very un-electronic,
because Laplantine uses all kinds of acoustic instruments as sources for
her sounds: flute, guitar, bass, glockenspiel and melodica to name but a
few. With limitation as the motor of her music, Laplantine develops a
music of incredible harmonic density and with a totally individual
sound-aesthetic.
Over the years, Anne Laplantine has deliberately confused her audience
by recording for different labels under many different guises: As
MICHIKO KUSAKI she had a release on the Vienna-based Angelika
Köhlermann-label, for Tomlab she recorded as ANGELIKA KÖHLERMANN and
ANNE HAMBURG, for Autopilot under her given name.
Her first album for Ahornfelder is completed and will be released in 2008.
