about the record

Transients I/O, the debut solo release from Andreas Kühne, captures a hidden city at the edge of the Earth. Based on field improvisations recorded between 2018 and 2020 in Murmansk—the largest city above the Arctic Circle—the two-part electroacoustic album uses the sounds of objects across Murmansk to speculate on the identity of this remote city and how its young inhabitants cope with living there. As a ‘transient’ himself in Murmansk, Amsterdam-based sound artist, drummer, and producer Andreas Kühne recorded site-specific musical improvisations with objects that are visibly present in the city but not audible. A nuclear submarine, abandoned vehicles, decaying harbors, factories, and bridges—all resonate and tell their own stories.
