ANGEL
Ilpo Väisänen (of Pan sonic) and Dirk Dresselhaus (of Schneider TM) have been playing freeform noise with a tendancy to drone things out since 1999. The whole thing is quite a noman..s landish affair : somewhere between and in the middle of industrial, dub, new music, indierock, blues and science fiction soundtracks. From 2004 on they were joined by icelandic cellist/multiinstrumentalist Hildur Gudnadottir (Lost in Hildurness, Mum etc.) on a regular basis

Terra Null.
The fourth release by Angel for Editions Mego expands upon their singular combination of electronics, traditional instrumentation and extended technique. The musical reduction & simplicity of Terra Null. is a beautiful and brooding statement on cultural Darwinism.

Hedonism
Despite only being released now 'Hedonism' is actually the first studio album by Dirk Dresselhaus and Ilpo Vaisanen as duo, a project which started in 1999. Five years in the making and being started before Hildur Gudnadottir joined forces, 'Hedonism' is colllision of urban and rural settings.

Kalmukia
'Angel is Ilpo Vaisanen (Pan sonic), Hildur Gudnadóttir (Lost In Hildurness) and Dirk Dresselhaus (Schneider TM).

All players delicately playing off each other creating a mesmerising work that sounds like nothing they have done before yet still retaining the audio signatures they have become known for. Packaged in a n…
