Anne La Berge and Tom Baker | "Sand" | Present Sound Recordings | 2023 

El dúo de Anne La Berge y Tom Baker se formó en 2013. Con La Berge en flauta, voz y electrónica en vivo y Baker en guitarra eléctrica, theremin y varios dispositivos analógicos, lanzan “Sand”, su primer álbum que se edita por Present Sound Recordings que muestra composiciones contemporáneas e improvisación, enraizadas en la música de vanguardia, avant-jazz y experimental electrónica.

Anne La Berge trabaja en el arte sonoro donde despliega sus composiciones e improvisaciones y es una de las compositoras/intérpretes del ensamble MAZE con sede en Ámsterdam. Es artista fundadora del colectivo de músicos Splendor Amsterdam, donde produce y organiza conciertos.

La Berge es la directora general de la Fundación Volsap que produce proyectos musicales de vanguardia. Trabaja como coach de improvisación y electrónica en vivo en todo el mundo y actualmente es coach en el Real Conservatorio de La Haya.

Tom Baker es un compositor, guitarrista, improvisador y músico electrónico quien ha estado activo en la escena de la nueva música de Seattle desde su llegada en 1994. Es el director artístico del Seattle Composers' Salon, cofundador de la Seattle EXperimental Opera (SEXO) y fundador del sello discográfico Present Sounds Recordings.

“Sand” consiste en diez pistas que tienen como hilo conductor tonos vacilantes, algunos de ellos imperceptible de una flauta o dispositivos electrónicos. Sonidos extraídos que son deconstruidos y composiciones electroacústicas que producen texturas abstractas, ruidos atonales, drones retorcidos y ondas sonoras amorfas. 

Anne La Berge y Tom Baker despliega una paleta de sonidos que van desde el silencio hasta el ruido. Es necesario estar muy atento a los insospechados sonidos que se suscitan en el devenir de este lenguaje abstracto e inquietante.
