Airplane Ears & Johnny Knollwood and The Church of Mad Love
Airplane Ears is a fresh underground project by New York City-based musicians Sujae Jung (KR), Wolf Robert Stratmann (DE), and Dino Kim (KR), exploring the aesthetics of Drum and Bass, EDM, Experimental Music, Rock, Funk & Soul through instant composition and rough improvisation. No song idea is preconceived — the music is created together in the moment, spontaneously. Using SOMA's Terra Synthesizer and an array of electric bass effect pedals, Jung and Stratmann create sonic textures that mingle rhythmically with the energetic and eclectic drumming of Kim, forming a captivating stream of collective consciousness that one cannot resist bobbing their heads to.
