Unruh Effect



It should come as no surprise that Einsturzende Neubauten is a huge influence on how we as Skull Servant work - their repurposing of metal throughout their career to make noise at first, and now as instruments in their industrial approach to writing songs. We too like what they've done, and take it as great influence on the things we do. In every piece we work on, develop, and ultimately destroy, we want to have this element of percussion, preferrably with found objects.

N.U. Unruh takes us through his storage, which only serves to whet my appetite when it comes to percussion. I want one of those mallet-like hammers, I want to meet him and scrounge with him, banging on every object from here to the East End. Much respect is due, and this clip above certainly make absorb every scrap (pardon the pun) of the development process that Unruh takes to get his sounds.
