NUUK are two people,
Modular synthesist Christian Gierden and soundscape composer Lorenz Erdmann both share a love for contrasting harmonies and parameter-controlled sonic characteristics.

When playing and composing together as NUUK their manifold musical backgrounds help unfold sonic landscapes ranging from sparse droney spheres to sparkling melodic rhythms.

A hideout.

NUUK’s music is framed by an escapist mood. It draws and evokes narratives of northern natural milieus: The sea, profound fjords, sparse green, enchanted forests. The duo’s compositions also reflect the fragile and ephemeral character of an endangered nature: Melting glaciers, vanishing flora and fauna, shifting seasonal periods.
In this regard, the moniker NUUK is a metaphor.
