Following their end of 2016 set at Berghain, the innovative electronic duo of James Ginzburg and Paul Purgas, bring in the new year with the release of new track, ‘Border’. The track is taken from their brand new album Borders, which is out via Thrill Jockey on Friday 27 January.

Emptyset have been commissioned to participate in a number of projects by a variety of organizations over the years including Architecture Foundation’s installation at Ambika P3 space near Baker Street in London, Tate Britain’s Performing Architecture programme, a collaboration with conceptual artist Cevdet Erek for Spike Island, an installation at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and more.

The band explain: “Borders represents a new way of working bringing together custom instruments, live performance and the merging of acoustic sounds with analogue electronics. The material signifies the start of a new area of exploration for the project that will be realised through further international live events, bringing the record back into a performance settings and bringing a very human aspect into the sonic lexicon of Emptyset."

Emptyset have announced a performance at Sonic Acts, Amsterdam in February and will announce further dates for 2017.

ADULT. (Detroit’s Nicola Kuperus and Adam Lee Miller) have announced details of a new collaborative album, Detroit House Guests featuring Douglas J McCarthy from Nitzer Ebb, Michael Gira from Swans, Shannon Funchess from Light Asylum & More, via Mute on double vinyl and CD on 17 March 2017.

The collaborative project, conceived by ADULT. in the early 2000s became a reality in 2014 after they received a John S. and James L. Knight Foundation grant. Based on the visual artist residency model, each musician came to ADULT.’s studio for a three week period with the parameter that they all live, work and collaborate together. The album features collaborations with a whole host of musicians and artists.

ADULT. played their first live show together in Germany in 1997 under the name Artificial Material. In early '98 they released their first 12" under the moniker Plasma Co. later that year, they released their first 12" under the name ADULT.

Currently, they have released six albums and 19 EPs or singles on Ghostly International, Thrill Jockey and Clone Records, as well as on their own label Ersatz Audio, (which currently has over 40 releases since it was founded in '95). They have remixed over 20 acts as well, including Tuxedomoon, John Foxx, Death in Vegas and Pet Shop Boys (for Moog Music).
