Chattermark Duo (Norwegen)

Nach jahrelanger Zusammenarbeit formten John Lilja und Gunnhild Seim «Chattermark» aus dem Wunsch heraus, ihren Sound zu erweitern und zu transformieren. Mithilfe von Effekten und vielseitigen Techniken kreiert das Duo aus Norwegen Massives und Minimalistisches. Das gleichnamige Debut “Chattermark” erschien im September 2022 und umfasst sieben atmosphärische Soundscapes voller mutig-freier Verflechtungen.

Norwegian noise-drone duo Chattermark consists of John Lilja – electric bass and effects, and Gunhild Seim – trumpet and effects. After having worked together in other bands for many years, Lilja and Seim formed Chattermark out of a desire to extend and transform their sound with the use of effects and extended techniques. Inspirations for the music come from such diverse sources as Sunn 0))), Anthony Pateras and Franz Hautzinger. Chattermark released their debut album in the fall of 2022, and on tour they also bring with them the audiovisual work «Mycelium» which is a collaboration with visual artist Christine Urdal.

Reviews on the album:

«..A very daring, courageous and shocking piece of new music, visionary and coherent, and an incredible listening experience» Stef Gijssels, Free Jazz Blog

 

“Chattermark’s music is liberated and courageous. It has twists and turns inspired by the duo’s sense of savagely beautiful ugliness and slow-moving power”
Arild R. Andersen, Jazz i Norge

“Lilja and Seim structured seven distinct pieces that move between minimalist to massive and intense soundscapes, using drones, distortion, repetitive structures and slow burning noise. Their dense sonic compounds make it almost impossible to know which sound – acoustic, electronic, mutated, or processed, is coming from which instrument. All the pieces have a strong cinematic quality, and often evoke an unsettling sensibility, as if imagining and anticipating a coming apocalypse.” 
Eyal Hareuveni, Salt Peanuts.
