Born as a duo in Recife (Brazilian Northeast) back in 1997, Aire'n Terre
shares a oringin common to many electronic acts: two friends sharing musical
tastes but with almost none musical theory.
In that way Aze von Helder e Wandeclayt M., former schoolmates from a
Federal Technical School decided to start playing covers of Depeche Mode
and other synthpop and EBM bands. Wandeclayt M. no longer lived in Recife
the few rehearsals on their vacations were focused on the recording of a demo tape
featuring two Depeche Mode covers with their friend Psycho Caesar at the lead vocals.In the next year Aze leaves Recife and sets his base in New York.
At this point with its members living in different hemispheres -
Wandeclayt in Santa Maria (Brazil) and Aze in NYC - the band develops
a whole structure to let them survive at the cyberspace. The Chain Reaktor
Virtual Studios connected machinery, brains and ideas and made possible
the production of the first original composition: the track Chain Reaktion.In those days broadband connections, PC-based studios and software
synthesizers were not a reality for amateur unsigned artists and they had
to solve every new problem with their very own solutions.In the following years the band goes live on stage on several clubs and festivals
in Pernambuco and Rio Grande do Sul (Brazilian States). The debut concert
takes place in 2001 at the BioElectric Fest in Recife.In 2003 a new member joins the band: the Spanish singer, programmer and
multi-instrumentist Morella Van Ingen. Based in Madrid, she's the European link
in the Chain Reaktor.Still in 2003 the band plays at the BioElectric.br festival sharing the stage with
Modem (São Paulo) and the synthpop duo from Argentina MHz.A'N'T melts influences of Old School EBM, synthpop melodies and the experimetalism
of industrial music. Always leading to dark, obscure and deep atmospheres.
Music for your feet, for your brain and for your heart.
