Spore is a microscopic investigation of the recorder’s anatomy – an interrogation of instrument and performer that comprehensively revolutionizes the language and potential of both. Anderson’s playing constitutes a fluid symbiosis of the bodily and the mechanical – saliva, wood, plastic, metal and circuitry combine to create third-ear beats, super-fast electroacoustics and canonic abjection unified by whiplash phraseology, moody texture and bizarre articulations. Drawing on influences from visual artists Hannah Wilke and Cindy Sherman, texts by Adrienne Rich as well as works by Lachenmann, Pisati and Parmegiani.
