wrists out by BEAM SPLITTER + Phil Minton

** cd's available upon request **

"wrists out" is the first release as a trio formation for artists Phil Minton, Audrey Chen and Henrik Munkeby Nørstebø. The recording, comprised of four tracks, from start to finish is one unedited concert, performed at Robalo music in Lisbon, Portugal in May 2024.

Collaborations spanning nearly twenty and ten years, Minton and Chen have been singing together since 2005, while Nørstebø and Chen formed BEAM SPLITTER in 2015. As an intermittent trio, formed in friendship and during travels, the three have developed a solid rapport and unique overlap of shared sonic languages. Two duos intersect, forming this trio of hyperextended close miked mouthful and breath driven antics for un-processed double voice and trombone, combined with monotron, feedback and sound files.

They have separately toured the globe extensively, each carving out highly idiosyncratic approaches to music making. As a trio or in extended projects, they have performed together in the UK, US, Portugal, Ukraine, Germany, Argentina and Brazil.

BEAM SPLITTER - Audrey Chen (US) and Henrik Munkeby Nørstebø (NO) -

is a duo for amplified voice, trombone and analog electronics based in Berlin, Germany.
