Finding common ground in :, : fine grained and slow pulsed music, the duo went through a : :' research period, striving to develop a common material void of ': ,: all things unnecessary, where the impact of acoustic and :, : electronic sound elements were truly balanced. While N°rsteb° : :' refined his arsenal of hisses, bass tones and pulsations with ': ,: the use of close up amplification and physical micro :, : adjustments, Lercher programmed a software that enabled him to : :' analyze N°rsteb°'s sound spectrum in real time, processing the ': ,: data through electronic synthesis-methods (sine waves, :, : resonators, filtered noise..) to create a tightly matching : :' output, still leaving the amplified acoustic trombone ': ,: unaltered. The result was released as ½TH_X╗ in 2014. :, : : :' ôOff the coastö is the duo's second album, and was produced ': ,: during two intensive weeks in Norway and Austria, October 2017. :, : Taking the chance to undertake a week long residency on a remote : :' island outside of Trondheim, the duo invited harpist Julie ': ,: Rokseth and headed to Sula, a tiny piece of land off the coast :, : and in the Norwegian sea. In its heyday, a fishing community : :' with close to 500 inhabitants, now home to around 60 permanent ': ,: residents (that have a broad verbal spectrum for describing wind :, : and it's changing character). Arriving by boat with a clean : :' slate, the duo decided to start by exploring and recording ': ,: sound material from Rokseth's baroque harp, as well as :, : researching the best way to record her ôwind harpö, an : :' instrument of nineteen strings that when held at an angle in ': ,: the right amount of wind starts playing it's own spectral song. :, : : :' By slowly letting the new material unfold and layering a range ': ,: of sound sources in addition to the duo's regular setup, it soon :, : became clear that the physical impact of the islands grounded : :' people, intense weather and striking 360 degree ocean view ': ,: would affect the music more than anticipated. Deciding to quite :, : literally represent the experience by adding elemental field : :' recordings and keeping the birds chirping along with the wind ': ,: harp, the project also was fortunate to involve a surprise :, : guest, Aksel Johansen, a man in his 80's and a ôSula originalö. : :' As people here commonly do, he stopped by unannounced several ': ,: times to see what was going on. Locally well known for his good :, : stories and honest voice, he contributed a rendition of the : :' ôSula songö, which resonates well with the origin of the ': ,: islands name, ôsomething that's rising from the oceanö. :, : : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 2 1 \/
