E.A.R. THE KONER EXPERIMENT
1997 2xLP Space Age Recordings USLP666
cicerobuck October 31, 2004 edited over 13 years ago
This simply is in my opinion the very best minimal techno album of this period from that scene (and believe me, I heard almost everything from that period from that scene)! Think a mixture of Plastikman's Consumed and Biosphere's icey sounds, and you got a good idea of where this precursor album takes you. Landmark album!
Experimental Audio Research (commonly shortened to E.A.R. or EAR) is a loose collective of experimental musicians formed around Peter Kember (a.k.a. Sonic Boom), formerly of Spacemen 3.[1] While Spacemen 3 were a relatively traditional rock and roll band with strong experimental leanings, E.A.R. is essentially a free improvisation project, creating instrumental music characterized by lengthy, droning textures and slowly evolving structures.[2]
The line-up often included Sonic Boom (Spectrum, Spacemen 3), Kevin Martin (God), Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine), and Eddie Prévost (AMM).[1] Other collaborators have included Lawrence Chandler[2] of Bowery Electric, Nick Kramer,[2] Delia Derbyshire and Thomas Köner, plus various members of Spectrum, though it is generally considered a Kember solo project. The collective is one of Kember's several post-Spacemen 3 projects, which also include Spectrum, as well albums released under the Sonic Boom moniker.
Thomas Köner (born 1965 in Bochum, Germany) is a multimedia artist whose main interest lies in combining visual and auditory experiences. He's been noted for his use of low frequencies.[1] The BBC, in a review of Köner's work in 1997, calls him a "media artist," one who works between installation, sound art, ambient music and as one half of Porter Ricks dub techno.[2]
