Crosscut Saw brings you three unique tracks by GU?RRR.

Formed by Aleksander Haugen and Girilal Baars in 2024 during an accidental meeting, our hurdy-gurdy duo strives to blend the acoustic instruments with non-standard electronics. GU?RRR also actively explores extended playing techniques on the already wide-ranging acoustic sound-generators that are hurdy-gurdys.
Tracks
1 Mean Old World 11'14''
2 Crosscut Saw 12'03''
3 Killing Floor 12'01''

Two of the tracks are live recordings from GU?RRR's tours in Norway and Sweden and one is a studio recording. Acoustic noise drone linking the medieval with the modern, plainsong with the inharmonic, and the hidden with the oblique.

Aleksander Haugen is a bass player and noise musician based in Oslo. He works with an experimental approach to sound and music, often with a combination of acoustic sound sources and electronics. In 2015 he started his solo project, Lahestan. Additionally he has long been collaborating on projects with various artists and performers in many styles.
