Annette Peacock (born 1941)[1][2] is an American composer, musician, songwriter, producer, and arranger. She is a pioneer in electronic music who combined her voice with one of the first Moog synthesizers in the late 1960s. Annette Peacock may still be best known for the pieces she composed for Paul Bley in the 1960s and early '70s. They were spare, elusive ballads that lent themselves perfectly to multiple harmonizations and free improvisation. Since then, she's had an episodic career, at one point recording with Bill Bruford. But she's frequently been out of the spotlight. She sings and plays piano on 15 of her songs here, accompanied by the Cikada String Quartet of Norway. Acrobat's Heart may be an ideal description of what Peacock does, from writing phrases like "the din of an opening heart" to playing with harmonic gravity on "Weightless." Her songs are always close to the core of an emotion--whether loss, rapture, betrayal, or hope--that's recaptured and concentrated in reverie until it clarifies or blooms into something else. Within these subdued songs, she is able to construct sometimes startling combinations and leaps--emotional, melodic, or verbal, or all three at once. Her voice is almost without vibrato, a pared-down instrument that etches her striking melodies with telling accuracy. Her string writing here, too, is an effective complement to the songs, the instruments seeming to breathe as one with her voice and piano. --Stuart Broomer 1 Mia's Proof 2 Tho 3 Weightless 4 Over. 5 As Long As Now 6 U Slide 7 B 4 U Said 8 The Heart Keeps 9 Ways It Isn't 10 Unspoken 11 Safe 12 Free The Memory 13 ,Ever 2 B Gotten. 14 Camille 15 Lost At Last
