ABOUT «Rebuilding PLANO» Remix Album by Anna Stereopoulou
«Rebuilding PLANO» is the new digital release by composer, pianist, researcher, Anna Stereopoulou on 7MNS Music. Its pun title indicates the artist’s PLANO solo album, as it has now been remixed by five remarkable international musicians, with whom Anna has collaborated also in the past, and the number (5) of whom represent the 5 Sections of the original work. However, each musician was free to choose whether they would re-work on the whole album or just a part of it, as well as the music genre or length of their final remix.
The result is a wondrous new ‘map’ of 49 minutes in Total Length, redesigned by (in order of appearance): Electric Indigo (musician, DJ, composer), Erissoma (self-taught composer and sound artist), Tuna Pase (music lover, musician, educator), sound- and radio artist Claudia Wegener’s ‘Radio Continental Drift‘ (feat. Gogo’s storytelling) and Space Blanket (electronic music duo); a journey through various styles, such as Cinematic, Techno, Ambient, Noise, Electronic / Electro-Acoustic, Experimental, Spoken, Field Recordings, or else, through a level series lifting it up, closer to Anna’s psychosynthesis and love for both solid Structure and pure Freedom, as also portrayed on the Remix Album’s cover photo.

Artists’ NOTES
ERISSOMA
I have always been clear that I should respect the essence of the original song, at least in the same way that it conveys to me, in my mind there is a dream leaving the busy pace of life in the city and traveling to places where nobody arrived earlier, meeting people who for many years have not altered their way of life.
For this I have worked with some of the original (stem) tracks of the song and added new recordings manipulating small objects and instruments such as a Kalimba or Citara processing the strings with ebows. I have also used percussion, cellos and acoustic piano emulations.
TUNA PASE
This was my first time re-mixing an electro-acoustic piece. Re-using the audio material of a long ambient piece without letting it disappear completely, was a new experience for me.
RADIO CONTINENTAL DRIFT
Alternate Title: “…now I’m a ritual rain maker”
“My own inner interpretation of what I’m hearing in the remix is: a soul’s listening; listening to her self listening in to her environment listening in to past and future vibrating around her… and from all the listening to the inside a prophetic voice raises up outside…” Claudia Wegener
Thembi Ngwabi is known as “ugogo”*, a dancer, actress and bass guitarist in Zimbabwe; she directed stage plays and films, played in a famous all-women band and trained hundreds of youths at Amakhosi Arts Academy. Recordings from 2012 in Bulawayo, 2013 and 2018 in the Lupane bush, trace her story as a woman artist and the calling that is upon her growing louder… [*”ugogo” means a grandmother in Ndebele]
Update (Anna’s) Note: On January 2nd, 2024, I received an email from Claudia Wegener, informing me about Gogo’s passing. The news gave me a sad, bitter feeling, mostly because I knew I will never have the chance to meet Gogo in person, any more. However, it still is a precious honour to have her Voice enriching my sounds with a universal and warm perspective of Wisdom. I hope Gogo’s Soul continues to inspire us all, and I wish Claudia a bright and inspiring continuation of her important and enlightening ‘long walk abridged’, through her ‘Radio Continental Drift’ project!
