Amnesia

In their latest release, ‘Teer’ (english: tar), rand unveil two uncompromising extended tracks, ‘Teer I – fluid’ and ‘Teer II – rolled’.
Teer is due to be released on 29 August 2025 via their own imprint RAND.

Exuding a technoid and industrial ambience, the EP sees the piano-electro duo of Jan Gerdes and Dr.Nojoke venture into uncharted territories. 
‘Teer’ evokes the atmosphere of urban spaces and overlooked places: the profane and seemingly meaningless transitions of car parks, subways and construction sites, where material textures and surfaces are scanned acoustically.
You can hear machines moving and processing the tar, smoothing the ground and forming layers and bead-like thickenings as it transitions from liquid to solid, with the edges fraying in a coordinated manner.

In ‘Teer I’, the musical material takes on a more fluid and wafting form, driven by pulsating technoid machines, while a lonely, melancholic voice observes from a distance.
'Teer II' is more of a portrait of the rhythmic details of the urban scenario: the motorised, metallic pulsations of the machines at work during various rolling processes form acoustic layers between which a quite sad, hypnotic melody occasionally emerges.

Everything seems deserted and gloomy … with only a few workers behind the machines.

Both pieces were recorded live in one take.
