Swiss-French pianist and theatre artist Maren Gamper presents her first solo album dedicated to the work of Swiss writer, journalist and poet Annemarie Schwarzenbach (1908-1942). The album is an improvised reflection on Schwarzenbach's text ""Erdenschwere"" (""eartly heaviness""). The concept of 'earthly heaviness' is a central theme in the literary work of the Swiss author. It describes existential melancholy, a sense of rootlessness, and the deep inner conflict between a longing for freedom and the weight of one's own life.In her intense, masterful, and captivating performance, Maren Gamper brings to life the emotions and deeper layers of meaning in this text-a performance that will leave no listener unmoved. Recorded on a 1919 Bluther piano in a quiet studio on the Baltic Sea, far from the noise and distractions of everyday life, this album offers a profound meditation and an inner journey through the pain, doubt, and, ultimately, the light and love of human existence.
