…some There(there) projects past, present, future and other.

Claudia Brücken and Andrew Poppy – Another Language, an album, available. Some songs written by other people, in their own language, translated, interpreted and approached through the particular voice of Claudia, the particular piano of Andrew, in a private space, a certain room, where you can hear the movement of the songs breath, because they are alive. Nothing florid, nothing epic, nothing synthetic, nothing electronic, just songs they both love, for their own reasons, particularly arranged – the startling songs of Kate Bush, Radiohead, Billy McKenzie, David Bowie, Roy Orbison, Frank Black, Elvis Costello, Marianne Faithful…

In development, in time… Claudia Brücken with Stephen Coates of and from glitter literate avant cabaret act The Real Tuesday Weld extending their twisted para-40s collaboration for the Rockstar L.A. Noire video game. This project will be a set of songs in vivid, shadowy black and white forming an album (“Suspense”) and/or an musical hallucination (“Intrigue”) dislocated in a mysterious imaginary world somewhere between post war Europe and post-romantic nowhere in a time between a known 1940s and an unknown 1960s between the sinister fiction of The Third Man and the building of the Berlin Wall. If Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy had been directed by David Lynch from a script by Franz Kafka and Don Delillo, these songs would form the sound track – image a world where Dietrich sang a Bond song written by Stephen Sondheim and Arthur Lee.
