More Human Than Human is the music collaboration of Gerald Berliner and Nick Gaiger.
They originally hail from West London, first meeting at school in Ealing and have remained life-long friends ever since. In 1993 Gerald left London to take up residence in NYC where he now lives. Nick remained in London.
Not letting a mere 3000 miles get in the way, they forged a transatlantic collaboration to continue their shared passion for making music, only this time from either side of the ocean.
Gerald explains the meaning behind their name.
"The name comes from a line in the movie Bladerunner, where Dr. Eldon Tyrell is explaining to Deckard what the Tyrell Corporation's motto is:
"Commerce is our goal here at Tyrell, more human than human is our motto..." The Tyrell Corporation create Replicants, synthesized human beings almost impossible to tell apart from their actual human counterparts.
As we have delved deeper into the craft of digital recording it has become abundantly clear how integral technology has become in the production of music and sound these days.
Sound synthesis and instrument sound emulation has become so sophisticated that it is now also very hard to tell 'manufactured' instruments and sounds from real instruments.
Whether this a good or bad thing, well that argument is sure to rage on. In the mean time though, we'll just keep our heads down and carry on making music."
More Human Than Human specialize in soundtrack composition for Film, TV, Documentary, Web and Electronic/Video Gaming. They record exclusively using Apple Mac Pros and Logic Pro 8.
