AMOR/LEMUR is the amalgamation of two very different musical ventures.
Glasgow-based avant-disco unit AMOR met LEMUR on stage at the Glasgow Centre for Contemporary Art in early 2020, weeks before Covid shut down the live arts. The resulting live set turned into a dancable and extatic collaboration, a democratic approach attesting to the communal experience and possibilities of disco. Their following recording session captured much of this energy, resulting in “the loosest, liveliest and most elevated recording in AMOR’s catalogue”, according to their label Night School.

Under development. Expected premiere spring 2025.
A new work for ensemble and electronics where encapsulating soundscapes are drawn from outdoor performances at Veierland, a small roadless island outside Tønsberg, Norway. Changing sonic scenarios are captured and manipulated live, woven into the subtle performance of the four instrumentalists.
We are working on our lates project, Presque Rien, for ensemble and electronics. It is based on field recordings and instrumental recordings from outdoor performances at Veierland, a small roadless island outside Tønsberg, Norway. Changing sonic scenarios are captured and manipulated live, woven into the subtle performance of the four instrumentalists. Check out an excerpt available here ->
