about

Shackle has released The Shacke Stick: a designer memory stick with audio and video from Shackle’s concerts. All music performed live by Shackle, mixed by Anne La Berge and Robert van Heumen. The physical stick is accompanied by the Shackle Multiplayer Music Game. This is a card game based on the digital interactive improvisation system that Shackle uses in their performances.

"The music of Shackle is truely strong and varied. There are fast, raw passages and also very subdued parts where something new can be heard every time you listen. The power of the duo is that they evoke curiosity without becoming overly abstract.`Shackle` is a game for anyone who makes music including professionals and those who occasionally just like to play around with friends or on their own. The game is highly recommended for musicians who seek new territory. It can lead to a range of moments from brilliant inspiration to hilarious chaos."
Jan Nieuwenhuis for Gonzo (circus)

"This is some excellent improvisation, with La Berge’s flutes clearly the central point and Van Heumen processing of the flute, along whatever else he does come up within the space of his computer. He gives the music a great vibrant character, whereas La Berge’s playing brings a more introspective element to the table – at least at times – she can be nasty as well. This is, overall, a great imaginative work, of great music, great concept and wonderful execution."
