Growing up in the countryside soccer Committee spent hours and hours listening
to the enchanting sounds of the river running by her house. At an early age she
was already making up songs to sing herself to sleep at night, but she only really
got started after discovering the guitar to accompany her voice.
Maintaining
this early developed sense of wonder soccer Committee likes the act of endlessly
zooming in on a particular sound; to try and follow its path to the point where
it becomes totally inaudible. This attitude towards sound and music becomes clear
when listening to one of soccer Committee's extremely detailed songs. These songs
are like little music boxes, each one bravely capturing moments or events that
would normally escape one's attention.
Often driven by only a few notes,
carefully placed against a backdrop of quiet colours, soccer Committee's little
sound-creatures sometimes remind one of the openness and seeming randomness of
Webern's later works while the richness of her guitar notes seems to be borrowed
from a particularly subtle and electrifying performance by the late Derek Bailey.
Weaving silence, guitar and vocals together in an immaculate celebration
of colliding overtones soccer Committee found a voice that can truly be called
her own. One which is capable of leaving any audience in utter amazement.
"sC" cd - released may 15th 2007
Soccer Committee
manages to build entire worlds with not much more than a few well chosen guitar
notes and her soft voice. Delicate, beautiful and truly breathtaking.
