Amor

When asked about the title of her new record, “Amor”, Limpe bluntly responded, “because its everything”. Being aBeatles fan from the very beginning, shes well aware that “all you need is love”, but theres more to her sentimentthan a corny pun. On the one hand, shes more than half a century into her musical career, and describes therelationship towards her instruments in terms of an ongoing and deepening love affair. “Be it my piano, my viola ormy percussion instruments, theyre all far more than just wooden caskets, theyre living entities, they need to betended and cared for, theyre resonating with me and when engaging with them while playing I respond to theirmomentary being - and they alter my body and soul all the same.” So, its about time for a love letter to herpercussion instruments and the act of drumming and listening to her drums, which can be heard as “Trommeln” onthe second to last track on “Amor”. We also get to learn about “Verliebte Autos im Wald” - a poem by Augusta Laar,Limpe recites during the closing track to “Amor”. What may come across as a goofy nursery rhyme at first is indeedtestament to Limpes longstandinganimistic beliefs, her imagination towards everything around her.
