以下、レーベルによる解説です。

"Lippardの作品は、話し言葉と書き言葉の接点に位置する実践の中で、公共の場から流用したコンテンツ（ファウンド・テキスト）と彼女自身の言葉を絡ませながら、デジタルコミュニケーションと媒介の台頭が、私たちの言語との関係をどのようにプログラムし直すかを調査し、言語のもろさ（その欠陥、奇妙さ、誤った解釈の可能性）と、意味や感覚を伝えようとする試みを提示している。

ベルリンを拠点に活動するマルチディシプリナリーアーティストは、過激で実験的なサウンドプラクティス、コンセプチュアルアート、サウンドポエトリーの間の魅力的な架け橋となるべく、ダダ的な感覚を駆使し、詩やテキストのスイートを発表する。

デジタル経済の急先鋒として声の匿名性を取り上げたLippardの「Talk Shop」は、アーティストによれば「詩とテキストのコンピレーションであり、単発の単語や文章がループし、繰り返されることで、私たちの私生活や公的な生活で見られる効率性とストレスの感覚的な体験を生み出す」もので、人間の声の可能性を最大限に引き出すアプローチから引き出された意味の予期せぬレイヤーを通して、ほとんどダダのような感覚を呼び起こす、 最初の音から最後の音まで、聴く者を夢中にさせ、挑戦的にさせる。

過激で実験的なサウンドプラクティス、コンセプチュアル・アート、サウンド・ポエトリーの間の魅力的な架け橋となるこの作品は、私たちが今年出会うであろう最も印象的で特異なクリエイティブ・ジェスチャーとして結実している。見逃す手はない。"

Dischi Fantom:

"Dischi Fantom’s Sussurra Luce series, blurring the boundaries between text, music and voice, returns with their fifth instalment, an expanded version of Hanne Lippard’s “Talk Shop”. Sculpting a fascinating bridge between radically experimental sound practice, conceptual art, and sound poetry, across its two sides the Berlin based multidisciplinary artist taps an almost dada sensibility, delivering a suite of poems and texts where singular words and sentences are looped and repeated creating a sensory experience of the efficiency and stress found in our private as well as public life.

Roughly a year ago, we had the pleasure of exploring the first two releases from Dischi Fantom’s emerging Sussurra Luce series, Ginevra Bompiani, Caterina Barbieri, and Tomoko Sauvage’s “Il Calore Animale” and Francesco Cavaliere’s “Zoomachia Disc 1”. An extension of the Milan based cultural platform Fantom’s broad and diverse activities
(exhibitions, installations, performances, etc.) across numerous artistic disciplines, the series, curated by Francesco Cavaliere and Massimo Torrigiani, delves into the “science of imagination”, working with contemporary authors to explore and blur the boundaries between text, music and voice. Now the brilliant series returns with its latest entry, the Berlin based multidisciplinary artist Hanne Lippard’s “Talk Shop”. Released in a limited edition of 200 copies and coming with an LP-sized booklet, it combines orality and textuality with the idea of loop and repetition to explore the notion of time, and it’s a stunning gesture of performative poetics that plums a startling range of subjects through its sonorous forms.

Working across the fields of text, vocal performance, sound installation, printed objects and sculpture, for more than a decade Hanne Lippard has deployed language as the raw material for her work. Working within a practice that rests at the juncture of the spoken and written word, drawing upon content appropriated from the public sphere (found text) intertwined with her own words, Lippard’s work investigates how the rise in digital communication and mediation reprograms our relationship to language, presenting the subsequent fragility of language - its flaws, oddities, and potential for misinterpretation - and its attempts to convey meaning and sense.

“Talk Shop”, the fifth instalment of Dischi Fantom’s Sussurra Luce series and Lippard’s third recorded release - building upon the ground of 2020's “Work”, issued by Collapsing Market, and 2021's “PigeonPostParis”, released by Boomkat Editions - began as a live performance. Combining orality and textuality with the idea of loop and repetition to explore the notion of time, its relationship with the world of work today, and its personification through the experience of the human body - anonymity as the spearhead of the digital economy - the conceptual underpinnings of the piece depart from the notion that the human voice has become commodified by the ubiquitous nature of contemporary productivity, and intertwined with the mechanics of capital - the voices of satnavs, smart speakers and voicemail systems - while the written word has become increasingly anonymous online.

Addressing vocal anonymity as a spearhead of the digital economy, Lippard’s “Talk Shop” - regarded by the artist as “a compilation of poems and texts where singular words and sentences are looped and repeated creating a sensory experience of the efficiency and stress found in our private as well as public life” - taps an almost dada sensibility through its unexpected layers of meanings drawn from a maximalized approach to the potential of the human voice, creating an engrossing and challenging listen from the first sounding to the last, that continues to reveal itself and unfold with every return.

Sculpting a fascinating bridge between radically experimental sound practice, conceptual art, and sound poetry, it culminates as one of the most strikingly singular creative gestures we’re likely to encounter this year. Highly recommended and not to be missed."

Artist bio via the label : 

"Hanne Lippard (Milton Keynes, 1984) explores the social forms that govern discourse. Her artistic practice, which mainly takes the form of reading and sound installations, investigates the voice as an instrument of emancipation and alienation in times of hyper-connectivity. By mixing personal thoughts and appropriating texts from advertising, slogans and newspaper articles, the text becomes a mix of private and public that regains inventiveness and authorship through the use of the voice, becoming a body of its own. Her recent artistic research has focused on the use of the female body as a container of sounds, on the conscious and unconscious automation of speech and language. "
