Janek Sprachta

Aaron & Erik have been fans of each others work for many years. From Erik's work as Svarte Greiner, and with the groups Deaf Center and B/B/S, to Aaron's work with Volcano The Bear, Gospel Of Mars and his duo with Alan Courtis. They have created a large and eclectic body of work between them. They first started working together back in 2012 to start collect material that would end up on the 20 year anniversary, Volcano The Bear box set “Commencing”, released on Erik´s Miasmah label in 2015. On the side of this mega-project, they slowly worked on sending music, sounds and improvisations back and forth to try create something together. These recordings sees it´s completion and release first now in 2018, almost 6 years since their humble beginning. Their duo album “Instead of rain i bring a hat” will be released this summer on Hands in the Dark records. An album that sounds unique amongst their output that sees the end of one chapter and the start of a new one. Currently, Aaron is an Englishman in New York while Erik is a Norwegian in Berlin. Both of them enjoy a good pint and ridiculous sentence.
