A trio of albums released recently attest to that devotion. Live at the Loft (ILK Music), her second album with Taborn and Cleaver, after Triptych (Leo), analyzes sound to a point where each note takes on a profound level of intimacy. Throughout the hour-long disc, Anker's control over each phrase is palpable, revealing a masterful ability to balance sound and silence. "One thing I recall when playing with Lotte is how far into silences and the unknown it is possible to go and trust that she is actively aware and engaged in the music-making," said Taborn. "I remember a performance where the trio had deconstructed a certain kind of gesture to the point where the silences were so intense and the spaces between sounds so wide that it was not easily discernible if we were still playing or if the music had stopped. And at one point Lotte began playing an almost-melody. Not a fully stated one but just these sonorities that implied melody and it had the effect of focusing that entire space. This was a very brave thing to do, especially in the context of that kind of music because it was not explicit, but also not so abstract as to be trying to defy or deny the spaciousness that was occurring. It was such a perfectly beautiful and subtle assertion of voice."
