Stucker, Bianca
The Tarot Songs
Bianca Stücker presents The Tarot Songs the album fuses midnight music with the symbolic world of tarot. Unusual historical instruments meet the mysteries of ancient divination, creating a soundscape that is both archaic and hypnotic. On The Tarot Songs, Stücker blends hammered dulcimer, nyckelharpa, tagelharpa, rauschpfeife, recorders, cornamuse, and hurdy-gurdy with rare historical texts, new poetry, and pulsing beats. In live performances, the music is expanded through visual elements, dance, and ritual-inspired accessories in collaboration with Bruxas Solis. The result is a vivid sonic tapestry where goth folk and Renaissance aesthetics merge with dark pop, archaic timbres, and shadowy glimpses into the unconscious. Bianca Stücker is a musician, author, dancer, and PhD musicologist. She has produced and released numerous albums, including collaborations with forensic biologist Mark Benecke. In addition to her artistic work, she teaches, tattoos in her studio, and offers workshops on the history of tarot.
