Marianne Schuppe (born 12 July 1959) is a vocalist, author, and composer of vocal music.

Biography

Originally from Germany, Schuppe moved to Switzerland later in life. Schuppe has developed a unique "voice-body-technique"[1] based on the breathing-work of Erika Kemmann (Institut für Atemlehre Berlin) and Atem-Tonus-Ton developed by Maria Höller.[2][3] She is currently a guest-lecturer FHNW University of Music in Basel. As President of IGNM Basel she also curates a concert series of contemporary music. As a mentor, she has also participated in the Composers Meet Composers workshops at heim.art with fellow Wandelweiser artists/composers Emmanuelle Waeckerlé, Joachim Eckl, Antoine Beuger, and Jürg Frey.[4]

In her work as a vocalist, she is best known[5] for her recordings of Morton Feldman's Three Voices (col legno 2007)[6] and the vocal works of Giacinto Scelsi[7] (New Albion 2006).[8] She has also recorded two albums[9] of her own works on Edition Wandelweiser,[10][11] slowsongs (2015)[12] and nosongs (2018).[13][14]

In 2008, Schuppe began developing a solo-work for voice and sparse accompaniment by lute and uber-bows. Her “slow songs” (2015)[15][16] and “nosongs” (2018) have been called “a radical re-weighing of all traditional ingredients of song”.[17] Her voice is described as “highly distinctive...without the stylized character of a classical trained singer”.[18] In her review of "nosongs" for The Wire, Tabitha Piseno stated that Schuppe's “combination of accuracy and elusiveness, intimacy and distance may also bring to mind Samuel Beckett’s most radically reductionist prose works, pure constructions infiltrated by the impure world of given things”.[19]

Schuppe’s works include text scores, poems, essays and ensemble pieces for trained voices as well as non-trained voices.
