Robert Lippok and Beatrice Matrini, “Branches,” recorded for Daniel Blumin’s WFMU radio program

It is worth a trip to WFMU to read the fascinating interview with Lippok (of To Rococo Rot) and Italian harpist Matrini. Matrini’s description of her process is intriguing: “Basically, I have an idea (it can be a sound, a gesture, a body movement, an image) and I start developing it, using sounds as well as texts or sketches. Then I make some experiments, I record them and listen to the recordings to decide what I want to choose, why/if I want exactly those sounds and how I want to perform them. Not in this particular order every time.”
