Annette Focks' Poll
14-Feb-2011 - Normal Records has released the score from Poll, The story of thirteen-year-old Oda Schaefer who leaves Berlin In the summer of 1914 to join her family and an assortment of German and Russian aristocrats on an estate in Estonia. The Schaefer family home is a character in its own right, a hulking, neoclassical manor that hovers on stilts above the sea. Oda arrives there bearing her mother's coffin and a gift requested by her surgeon father: a jarred, two-headed fetus to add to his laboratory of gruesome curiosities. Ebbo Schaefer sees himself in his daughter when she calmly and expertly learns to suture the corpse of a cat. What he fails to recognize - and what Oda luckily understands - is that their interest in science is their only similarity. His dedication to experimentation is linked to an appalling obsession with power and destruction, while Oda is genuinely curious about life. The score is written by Annette Focks.
The score is available from Amazon UK, Amazon France, Amazon Germany and from Normal Records.
