about the record
Partners is a collaborative project between Femke Fredrix and James de Graef. Brought together by a keen interest in the ever-evolving marriage between electronic music and visual arts, they decided to combine their strengths to realize a shared visionโor, as they call it themselves, โproviding a suitable backdrop for spastic movement.โ
Partnersโ debut project is a kind of hybrid, as it searches for a balance between being a film and an album. The inspiration for this collaborative effort started with their cat, who carries the same name as the album: Faust. While you can listen to the music without watching the film, the entire production process of both was completely intertwined.
Faust reflects on how we, as humans, perceive, treat, and care for animals. From common domesticated animals and plush teddies to cattle, we have almost daily interactions with all of them. Faust questions how we interact with these creatures and why we treat one animal differently from another. Without venturing into the stereotypical realm of vegan activism, this project raises interesting questions about our daily interactions with the other souls inhabiting this earth. Despite the serious subject matter, Partners never lose sight of their quirky sense of humor, which comes through in their use of samples and in the employment of bizarre little scenes.
