Componisten/uitvoerenden: Jan Borchers | Paul Klauï
Special attention for the Hague duo AU, consisting of Jan Borchers and Paul Klauï, giants in the alternative electronic music circuit.
From the second half of the 1990’s and the following 20 years, the gentlemen made music together. They cherished the idea that their music should never sound the same twice and must be completely improvised. The majority of their work has been self-released on cassette, minidisc, and CDr. Unfortunately, both gentlemen have passed away.
In this episode of Electronic Frequencies, you will hear not only works by AU but also a solo piece by Paul Klauï, a field recording by Jan Borgers, and finally, an ode to Jan Borger made by the compiler of this episode. The track was released in 2021 on the album “No Tribute” along with 25 other contributions paying tribute to Jan Borgers, an inspiring constant in the alternative music scene in The Hague.
Enjoy the minimal instrumentals of AU.
