About Anne Clark
Anne Clark released her first album, “The Sitting Room”, in 1982. She wrote the words herself and built the record around spoken texts set to electronic arrangements.
She followed with “Changing Places” (1983) and “Joined Up Writing” (1984). On these releases, keyboardist David Harrow contributed music and worked as co-writer and producer. That collaboration also shaped tracks such as “Sleeper in Metropolis”, “Our Darkness”, and “Wallies”, which paired Clark’s spoken delivery with Harrow’s programming and synth work.
Clark released “Pressure Points” in 1985. She made the album in collaboration with John Foxx, who wrote the music and played on the first five tracks. In the late 1980s, Clark spent several years in Norway and worked with musicians including Tov Ramstad and Ida Baalsrud. She then released “Unstill Life” in 1991 in cooperation with drummer Charlie Morgan. The album includes tracks such as “The Moment”, “Unstill Life”, “Abuse”, and “Empty Me”. In 1992, she issued a non-album maxi-CD collaboration with Baalsrud, who played violin and co-wrote “If I Could”; the release also included a remix of “Our Darkness”. Morgan died in December 1992, and Clark halted planned collaborations.
Clark returned with “The Law is an Anagram of Wealth” in 1993 and toured Europe. In 1994, she moved into an acoustic format with “Psychometry”, a live concert recording from the Passionskirche in Berlin-Kreuzberg.
In 1998, she released “Just After Sunset”, a collaboration with Martyn Bates, built around English translations of poems by Rainer Maria Rilke. Anne Clark later reissued the album in 2002 after regaining rights to it. In 2003, she continued the acoustic line with “From The Heart – Live In Bratislava”, recorded with Murat Parlak, Jann Michael Engel, Niko Lai, and Jeff Aug.
From 2005 onward, Anne Clark worked with the Belgian act Implant on multiple releases. She delivered guest vocals on the Implant album “Self-inflicted” and appeared on the EP “Too Many Puppies”. She returned in 2006 for the Implant EP “Fade Away”, including a duet with Claus Larsen of Leæther Strip, and she also appeared on Implant’s “Audioblender”.
Anne Clark recorded “The Smallest Act of Kindness” in Germany and released it in September 2008. She dedicated the album to her mother, Cecilia Ann Picton-Clark (nĂ©e Murray). In late 2010, she launched “Past & Future Tense” as an ongoing project and issued its first chapter via her own label, After Hours Productions.
In January 2011, she contributed an arrangement of Charles Baudelaire’s “Enivrez-Vous” (“Be Drunk”) to the audiobook and radio play “Die kĂĽnstlichen Paradiese” (“The artificial paradises”). In 2016, she announced a one-year sabbatical. In January 2017, she collaborated with Ludwig.London on “Donald Trump Praesidend (Quack Quack)”, a parody track.
In June 2020 Anne Clarkhad to cancel here ‘Visions European Tour’ after she was diagnosed with cancer. By March 2023 she returned with the Borderland tour, featuring Nikolaus Jira on piano, replacing Ulla Van Daelen on harp. These concerts were her first live performances since 2019.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
