BACKGROUND

This cluster of websites offers an overview of the artistic activities of Andrew Chalk and Christoph Heemann.

Christoph Heemann, with co-founder Achim P. Li Khan, was active in the celebrated group Hirsche Nicht Aufs Sofa in the 80's. In the mid-90's, Christoph concentrated on his solo career while collaborating with artists such as Jim O'Rourke and Edward Ka-Spel (Legendary Pink Dots) in the Mimir project. He also worked with Masami Akita (Merzbow) and with the Japanese duo Jack or Jive. Christoph contributed to several Current 93 albums.

Andrew Chalk was similarly very active in the second half of the 80's, working in collaboration with David Jackman (Organum) and the Rupenus Brothers (The New Blockaders), among several others. In 1993, Andrew joined forces with Darren Tate to form the collective Ora.

Between 1999 and 2005, Andrew and Christoph worked together in the prolific collaboration known as Mirror. Since then, they resumed their respective solo careers.
