the tale of pip
by Alejandra and Aeron

 

It was a queer flower with big petals, and yellow leaves much too small.

"Oooooh ! What are you? "Asked Pip.

Aeron's mother Marie-Annette read the story, his grandmother Elaine composed and sang the Pip song, A & A played harmonica, laptop multitrack and dsp, wrote the story, and drew the landscapes. Joyce and Jan Dirk at Extrapool (Netherlands) helped A & A print the books.

Computer, fantasy, real life, and a total lie.

=============================

Buy it for your children. Buy it for yourself. Better still, buy it to listen to with your children. It's shimmering harmonica melodies and glistening electronics will reward you with hours and hours of listening pleasure. Words cannot truly do it justice. Buy it and listen.

================================

"The Tale Of Pip" is a fairy tale. Not that I am any sort of expert on fairy tales, but I do believe that in the real old fairy tales a certain cruelty was present, which is flattened out by Walt Disney cs. Maybe "the Tale Of Pip" brings it back...? In a certain sense this is cottage folk music. I imagine a wooden shed where a laptop is set to pick up these lovely small sounds, which are then gently processed. Maybe Alejandra & Aeron are part of the micro/glitch scene. But for sure they are one of the few who know how to create something truely original. (FdW) Vital
