hn Elliott, Mark McGuire and Steve Hauschildt began playing music together under the name Fancelions in 2005[1] in Cleveland's western suburbs of Bay Village and Westlake. However, due to a desire to simplify and focus more on live improvisation, they re-formed as Emeralds, playing their first show under that name in June 2006[2]. Since then the group has released over thirty recordings, on labels such as Hanson Records, American Tapes, No Fun Productions, Ecstatic Peace! and also on their own imprints Wagon and Gneiss Things. The album What Happened, released on No Fun Productions in 2009, is their most widely known release to date. In fall of 2009 the band self-released the follow-up full length to Solar Bridge which is self-titled Emeralds. In the coming years Emeralds releases will appear on Editions Mego and Industrial Records. They have collaborated with Aaron Dilloway on the cassette Under Pressure, released a split tour CD with Japanese noise musician Pain Jerk and opened for Throbbing Gristle in New York and Chicago[3]. The band has also filled headlining slots at Carlos Giffoni's No Fun Fest in New York and Stockholm, Sweden. Mark McGuire and Steve Hauschildt also perform and record under their own names. John Elliott performs as Outer Space, Imaginary Softwoods, and under various other aliases.

Emeralds are noted for blending ambient music with 80's synthesizer textures, German Kosmische music[4] and the minimalism of Terry Riley.

Voilà pour l'intro. Plus honnêtement, je considère markMcGuire comme un vrai génie. Et il parait que c'est énorme en concert

Double Helix, Genetic...

Leur dernier album est absolument incroyable. Mon n°1 de cette année

lul, j'ai mis "does it look like i'm here" dans les 10 premiers dans le top 50 du forum

C'est une bonne idée ça, je vais faire de même

Cet album est magique ! Vous en connaissez de la même trempe ?

Fuck Buttons, Blondes c'est à essayer si on aime Emeralds.

J'aurais plutôt conseillé d'écouter déjà certains projets solo/splits/collaborations lié à emeralds style les albums solos de mcguire, outer space ou encore skyramps (ca vous passera le temps), les anciens albums/tapes de James Ferraro (avant 2010), l'electro progressive lié au krautrock style Ashra (Manuel Göttsching, Klaus Schulze), Tangerine Dream etc. etc., ça va bien plus dans le style d'Emeralds que Blondes

genetic quand même...
