“Hands On” is the second work of experimental musician Claus Poulsen from Denmark and Italian improviser and noise performer Michele Scariot (aka Nodolby). It is the second exploration of what the two call Voidtronica. The method is to meet and record without either one knowing what instruments the other will bring, free improvisation and no…

Eardrops played a very satisfying gig at Institut für neue Medien in Frankurt in october. The duo is focusing on using string instruments (and electronics), and as with most of EMERGE’s output, we take our time building the piece. At the gig Claus was still feeling weightless after seeing Brian Eno the day before in…

Our allies from audiophob/Krater Recordings just released this little gem: https://audiophob.bandcamp.com/…/gravity-has-no-right… “Eardrops started on a sunny sunday evening in Augsburg with Claus Poulsen (Blind Man’s Band / solo) and Sascha Stadlmeier (Emerge / BuddA) improvising together, using zither, violin, electronics and field recordings. They concentrate on melodic and minimal soundscapes that classify as ambient, but…

Both artists had more time than usual when they met at Studio Skrat in Copenhagen in late May 2022, leading to greater experimentation and testing of ideas. From the rehearsal and recording sessions emerged these five pieces of music. Elements of drone, noise, no-input mixing, ambience and glitch impact, counterpoint and contrast across the entire…

Chalmers is looping tapes scavenged from the landfill of time and makes trance meditations on the Swarmandal and using electronics. Poulsen concentrates on bowed cymbal, toy synth, effects and field recordings. Latest release by the duo…

Broken vinyl meets junktronica head-on, gliding between chopped-up noise collages and dizzying ambient passages. This is the first release by the italian-danish duo, but their paths has crossed earlier when Nodolby’s label Dokuro made three releases by Claus’ projects, and the two sharing the split release Tanbark Muzak on Illuminated Paths in february 2019.  …
