The album Mmo comprises a collection of Adam de la Cours concert pieces more specifically, his most important solo keyboard-based compositions. De la Cour draws his inspiration from languages where abrupt tonal shifts and grotesque exaggeration are simply how things function. His influences come as much from psychotronic cinema, rubber-mask practical effects, vaudeville, genre tropes, and forms of satire as from contemporary classical music. De la Cour shares a particularly close artistic partnership with the pianist Mark Knoop, who not only able to navigate the technical knotweed of these pieces while performatively embodying their odd humour and skewed characterisations. The other performer on this disc is the inimitable Carl Rosman, whose combination of virtuosic clarinet playing and extraordinary vocal control, including an ability to produce full-bodied, Artaud-like screams, makes him uniquely suited to the final work in this set.
