Formerly based in Chicago, musician and sound artist, Ernst Karel, works with analog electronics and, until last year, trumpet. Although classically trained on trumpet, he long ago abandoned traditional repertoire and technique, instead exploring beyond the limitations of the trumpet using electronics and other means. More recently, he’s left the trumpet in its case altogether, working directly with electronics and recordings of acoustic spaces. In Seattle and then Chicago, Ernst was active in a number of noise, new music, and improvisation groups. Since the late 90s, he has collaborated with oboist, Kyle Bruckmann. As EKG, the duo combine electronics and acoustic instrumentation to create alien, often austere music comprised of microscopic fragments of sound, crackling static, and undulating burbles and blips. In his solo work, Ernst works with analog modular synthesizers, sometimes combined with acoustic sound sources and phonography.
