De Backer/Emmeluth

Signe Emmeluth and Hanne de Backer met in 2019 Kraków when they were there as part of Steve Swell's tentet. Shortly thereafter they went on tour with Paal Nilssen-Love's Large Unit. Here they discovered their common passion for free music and dance. Together they form concerts that are exciting and energetic. There is a shared and deeply rooted passion for the instrument - the saxophone. The music is playful, humorous and in constant dialogue with each other, at times almost telepathic.

"If a fire starts in your microwave, press the stop pad and leave the door closed. Then turn off the power at the switch and pull out the plug."

Emmeluth / Skavhaug Nergaard / Knedal Andersen explores non-linear form structures with an explosive interplay and nerve.

In 2022 they released "The A-Z of Microwave Cookery" on Astral Spirits.
