Anne Clark was born in Croydon, South London on May 14th 1960 to an Irish mother and a Scottish father.
Anne was experimenting with music and text and made her own debut performance at Richard Strange's Cabaret Futura in London along with Depeche Mode. Her songwriting experiments came to fruition with the release of her first album The Sitting Room in 1982.
During her time at the Warehouse Anne met David Harrow, co-writer on her second album Changing Places in 1983, Joined Up Writing in 1984 and Hopeless Cases in 1987. Anne and David's curiosity with keyboards, synths and samplers led them to create songs and sounds that would provide blueprints for the electronic music of the 80s and 90s - Sleeper In Metropolis........Our Darkness...
1985 saw the release of Pressure Points and a collaboration with John Foxx, the founder of Ultravox. In 1986 she began working and writing with classically trained pianist Charlie Morgan and as well as joining her on her first US tour he also co-wrote material for the Hopeless Cases album (1987). At the end of 1987 Anne moved to Norway which was to be her home for 3 years. The move to Scandinavia opened up further experiments with sound and music and she began working with Norwegian musicians Tov Ramstad and Ida Baalsrud. Along with Charlie Morgan the album Unstill Life was released in 1991.
In 1994 Anne decided to take the risk of touring with a purely acoustic band. In 1995 she released To Love And Be Loved, another magical blending of electronics and acoustics featuring collaborations with Martyn Bates, Paul Downing, Andy Bell and Chris Elliot.
In 1998 Anne returned once again to the acoustic and folk/classical influences that have become increasingly important to her expression and, much to the disdain of the major record labels, but the acclaim of her audience and critics alike, she released Just After Sunset - a collaboration with Martyn Bates featuring translations of the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke.
Around November 2001 Anne first contacts were made with guitarist Jeff Aug who introduced her to Niko, Murat and Jan-Michael and slowly the pieces were coming together to launch the new acoustic project.
Anne and the new band hit the road several times during 2003 and 2004 and ideas for a new CD start to rise and are still in making.
Along the way Anne was introduced to Belgian act Implant who remixed Sleeper in Metropolis in 2003. It came to a new collaboration when Anne asked Implant to remix a couple of tracks which were performed during the Bladelse Feesten (NL) in the Summer of 2004. The result were so exciting that Anne was asked to perform two track on Implant?s latest CD Self Inflicted, the tracks are ?Tune up your chips and circuits? and ?Surface Tension?.
Around the same time Anne was introduced to Manuel Richter AKA Xabec, both were so excited that Anne asked Xabec to produce the long awaited new album. Throughout 2006 and 2007 Anne continued to perform extensively with both line ups, while preparing the new album. 2006 also saw Rainer Von Vielen joining on stage, completing the full "Electro/Acoustic" line up. End 2007 Anne finally went into the studio to record "The smallest acts of kindness". and the rest is still to be written..... Read Anne's full bio on the home page and for full details
