Describing herself as an acoustic and visual artist and instrument builder, Limpe Fuchs selects her sound generating materials – be it made from wood, stone, bronze or strings – according to the spaces where she'll be performing on them. “Vogel: Bizarre – Normal – Special” is mashed together from three performances recorded between 2013–16: A 2016 duo with double bass player Elmar Guantes; a 2015 solo performance in Winnipeg, and a 2013 duo with Jacques Foschia on bass clarinet. Whether improvising solo or with other players, Limpe is “looking for free space”, she says, “not on purpose, going with intuition, constantly in dialogue with sound and silence, remaining simple and open for surprise. For every concert I select different material and instruments – without knowledge of chaos, no order.” In the early 1970s Limpe Fuchs and her then husband Paul used to drive around West Germany on a tractor hitched to the mobile stage on which they’d perform impromptu concerts as Anima-Sound.
