Robert Deters and Martin Luiten specialise in music that touches, suprises and make you think. Operating under the name 'the dear listeners', their musical output is an emotional and rich sound-art, based on interaction and physical presence. Essentially the group name underlines that importance of listening and dialogue when playing and performing their music, investigating what's hidden under the surface of sound - the areas inbetween pure sound, noise and melodic structures. Whether their soundsculptures are cinematic, tense or hypnotic, the results are always highly concentrated.
'The Dear Listeners' listen to Brian Eno, Nurse With Wound, Kraftwerk, Holger Czukay, Keiji Haino, This Heat, AMM, John Cage, Kapotte Muziek, Ennio Morricone ....
