- EAR (band)
Experimental Audio Research is a group formed around
Peter Kember (a.k.a. Sonic Boom), formerly ofSpacemen 3 . To quote from the liner notes of the first E.A.R. full-length release, "Mesmerised", "E.A.R. is a loose affiliation of non-resident "sound makers" including from time to time Sonic Boom (Spectrum, Spacemen 3),Kevin Martin (God),Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine ), andEddie Prévost (AMM) amongst others." Other collaborators have includedLawrence Chandler ofBowery Electric , the lateDelia Derbyshire andThomas Köner , plus various members of Spectrum, though it is generally considered a Kember solo project. Commonly shortened to E.A.R. or EAR, the collective is one of Kember's several post-Spacemen 3 projects, which also include Spectrum, as well albums released under the Sonic Boom moniker.Discography
