Scanner And Anni Hogan - Scanni

Facts 2016 release, an exciting electro-acoustic collaboration from two of the UK's foremost contemporary composers. Scanni fuses the sensibilities of pianist and celebrated arranger Anni Hogan (Marc & The Mambas, Marc Almond) with the avant-garde noise production and curation of celebrated electronic musician and sampler Scanner across 10 tracks that feature a wealth of guest musicians and vocalists from the alternative music scene. Martin Bowes (Attrition) co-wrote and plays drone synths on the track 'Alone'. Wolfgang Flür, legendary ex-Kraftwerk percussionist and performance artist, provides lyrics and vocals for the track 'Golden Light'. Jarboe the lauded singer from the Swans, appears on the two tracks 'Carelessly' and 'Cinecittà'.Further guest appearances from cult singers Jennifer John, Kate Smith and Merseyside legend Thomas Lang. Over their unique and rather individualistic careers, both Anni Hogan and Scanner have produced work that has joined the dots between Marc Almond and Nick Cave, Bryan Ferry and Bjork, contemporary dance and theatre, literature and visual arts. Scanni is the result of their first collaboration and, over the last two years, the tracks therein have emerged from a committed and piecemeal exchange of digital files into an accomplished complex multi-genre work of affecting beauty.
