Static Teller is Jørgen Teller's unique solo project. He has a long career as electric guitarist, vocal and electronic musician and released many records solo and with Jørgen Teller & The Empty Stairs. He collaborated with players like Rhys Chatham, Fast Forward, David (Pere Ubu) Thomas & foreigners, Coal Hook (with Ron Schneiderman (Sunburned)), Lazara Rosell Albear, Bruno Ferro Xavier da Silva. Teller calls his music minimal rock goes synth'beat’n’poetry. The project was created during Teller’s residency at Rotterdam’s avantgarde studio The Worm in 2014. He “pressed rec” and used the studio's load of old crazy machinery like an ARP 2500, an EMSi and the Publison DHM89... The resulting handfull of suggestive static songs became Teller’s new solo-project. For this new album he has teamed up with Blaine L. Reininger. Blaine is an American post-punk, new-wave and alternative pop singer, songwriter, musician, multi-instrumentalist (particularly violin), writer and performer. He is known for being a member of the group Tuxedomoon since 1977 after co-founding it with Steven Brown and, latterly, for a notable music and theatre career, both as a soloist and contributor to other artists' recordings. The other guest is Jimi Tenor, a Finnish composer and musician. He has done more than 15 solo albums and many collaboration albums where he is the main composer. He first become well known when the Säkhö label released his seminal single 'Take Me Baby'.
