about

"Reality Diver" is the first album by the recently formed duo The Soft Capture (Copenhagen/Denmark). Even though the members have known each other for a long time, they only started producing music together recently. The first session was a challenge to find new musical expression liveprocessing a single sound source - the zither. It turned out to work very easily, and became the main part of "Reality Diver", finishing off the production and additional recordings seperately. Mainly toned down, the album’s minimal and harmonic soundscapes becomes very organic where the live played instrument merges with the electronic layers. Some arpeggios, chords and instrument noises come and go during the eight tracks, varying from one to seventeen minutes.

Claus Poulsen is an improvising musician and producer, who has been a part of the electronic and experimental scene since the 90’s. CP works with free improvisation, experimentation and artistic challenge. He plays a combination of non-instruments (amplified objects, dictaphone, turntable), instruments (string instruments, keyboards, percussion) and electronics (laptop, pedals, synth).
A versatile improviser, his music projects span across genres such as ambient (solo), noise, freejazz (Blind Man’s Band) and lo-fi soundscape (Star Turbine). Claus is highly active releasing cassettes, CDs and vinyl and tours frequently in Denmark, Scandinavia and Europe. That is, before Corona.

Andreas Wetterberg is an art technologist, educator, and improviser who has worked on installation and performance projects for 20+ years. He has collaborated with multiple major institutions in Denmark, and has performed in the US, Brazil, and throughout Europe.
In the early 00s, Andreas saw the Danish electro-acoustic music scene as over-reliant on backtracks and shallow performances of “studio music”, and he shifted his focus to combining “traditional” electronic computer music with deep improvisational practices. Using the software Max, Andreas writes algorithms to allow reacting in real-time to other performers, such as Claus, while also drawing on Western and world music traditions. Andreas has also worked many years with the collective Kopenhagen Laptop Orchestra, and is now using Covid-times to retool and expand his over-complicated 40 kilo live rig.
