Biography

“Kate Bush’s cinematic & emotional pop grandeur meets Matthew Herbert’s field recording geekiness in lush layered melodies.”

Music. It’s all about emotions. “Every song has a different theme, tells a different story, depicts different emotions. I’m a very emotional person. I can be very happy or extremely sad. There’s not much in between for me. I want my songs to transport those feelings even if you don’t understand the words. In that sense my songs are like little shortfilms, just without the pictures, purely the soundtrack.”

Her debut album ‘Minutia’ therefore is an eclectic blend of impassioned songs made of piano, mbira, upright bass, cello, strings, harps, ticking clocks, S-Bahn sounds, water, paper, coffee brewing, stones, glass, ice, music boxes, steps and lots and lots of vocals. Madeleine set up a little homerecording studio in her living room in Berlin, where she locked herself in for days on end lost in her own sonic world writing, recording and producing her album almost entirely alone. She emerged with 12 multi-faceted songs that carry her distinct signature, show her knack for classical instrumentation, field recordings, intricate melodies and fragile, beautifully layered vocals. Her music is quirky and eccentric, yet catchy.

Madeleine grew up in East Germany, the oldest of two children. Her musical education already started as an infant when her parents whom she lived with in a tiny studio apartment had the idea to keep her quiet and happy by playing her music on headphones. So it came as no suprise that she started singing way before learning to speak.
