{"product_id":"adam-de-la-cour-momo-cd","title":"Adam De La Cour - Mômo (CD) PREORDER","description":"\u003ch1\u003eThe album Mômo comprises a collection of Adam de la Cour's most important solo keyboard-based compositions.\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMômo\u003c\/i\u003e presents a collection of Adam de la Cour's most significant solo keyboard-based concert works, spanning compositions written between 2007 and 2026. Drawing inspiration as much from psychotronic cinema, rubber-mask practical effects, vaudeville, genre conventions, and satire as from contemporary classical music, de la Cour has developed a distinctive compositional language defined by abrupt tonal shifts, grotesque exaggeration, dark humor, and theatrical expression. Rather than adhering to conventional concert traditions, these works embrace eccentricity, creating vivid musical narratives that are technically demanding while remaining unmistakably playful and imaginative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the center of the recording is pianist Mark Knoop, one of de la Cour's closest artistic collaborators, whose extraordinary technique allows him not only to master the intricate complexities of these compositions but also to embody their skewed personalities and unconventional wit. The collection moves fluidly between virtuosic solo piano works, electronically expanded textures, and the whimsical \u003ci\u003eFive Nursery Rhyme Miniatures\u003c\/i\u003e, each revealing a different facet of the composer's highly individual musical voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album concludes with \u003ci\u003eL'Exorcisme du Mômo\u003c\/i\u003e, featuring the incomparable Carl Rosman, whose exceptional clarinet artistry and remarkable vocal control—including his ability to produce powerful, Artaud-inspired screams—make him uniquely suited to the work's theatrical and expressive demands. Presented on CD by Kairos, \u003ci\u003eMômo\u003c\/i\u003e offers a compelling portrait of Adam de la Cour's singular artistic vision, balancing contemporary classical rigor with surreal imagination, theatricality, and fearless experimentation.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eHoly Toledo (2014) for piano\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eBeat Me (Cut and Permutation No. 2) (2008\/2026) for piano\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eTriptych No. 3: Ménages à Quatre(s) (2012) for piano\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003ePiano Piece 10: Phantom Edition (2011\/2026) for piano and electronics: Part I\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003ePiano Piece 10: Phantom Edition (2011\/2026) for piano and electronics: Part II\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eFive Nursery Rhyme Miniatures (2007) for piano: 1.
