Ur

About Me

Ur music is mostly based on improvisation that usually starts with drones or samples (with no pre-definite structure), to which they superimpose layers of electro-acoustic noisescapes coming from objects, field recordings, analog and traditional instruments processed using a load of pedals and effects. The sound ends painting a solid, harsh and dramatic industrial lounge where archaic instincts and modern obsessions meet. To use the words of a sound engineer after one of their live sets: “…it all sounds like early Pink Floyd on acid...on muriatic acid”. The first official release of the band was “Triadic memories” on Andrea Marutti’s (Amon/Never Known) label Afe records (www.aferecords.com).
The last efforts are "Trieb" out on Topheth Prophet (www.topheth.org) on september 2008, "Four calls for locusts" out on Mask of the slave (www.maskoftheslave.tk) on november 2008, and the collaboration with Craig Hilton titled "I will be the light" out on Afe on december 2008.
