Voice Crack
Voice Crack was a Swiss improvising duo formed in 1972 by Andy Guhl and Norbert Möslang, who started out playing free jazz. By 1983 they had dropped conventional instruments and played what they called cracked everyday electronics: radios, turntables, transmitters and dictating machines opened up and played by hand. The duo is known for the buzzes, clicks and drones it drew from these devices. Voice Crack first worked with tapes and live sound processing before the switch to modified electronics. Several records came out on the Uhlang Produktion label, among them Earflash.
