As founder of the leftfield nu-jazz outfit Sonar Lodge, and co-owner of the Music For Speakers label, Richard van Kruysdijk is no stranger to contemporary electronica and broken beats, whilst Niels van Hoorn's skills in the field of avant-garde and psychedelica resulted in many collaborations (with Mark Spybey, Cevin Key, The Teargarden, Lydia Lunch) as well as countless gigs and tours around the world with The Legendary Pink Dots.
Shifting from subtle electronic 'songscapes' to monumental triphop songs, Strange Attractor has created their own musical blend of new wave tingled triphop. They have toured Europe 5 times since 2006, headlining in 11 countries.Their releases feature a string of underground celebrity guests like Graham Lewis (Wire), Peter Christopherson (Throbbing Gristle), Winston Tong (Tuxedomoon), David J (Bauhaus), Jarboe (ex Swans), Edward Ka-Spel (Legendary Pink Dots) and Blaine L. Reininger (Tuxedomoon).
The attraction of their live performance is built around the warm, soulful vocals of Marie-Claudine (Sonar Lodge), the diverse wind instruments of 'natural born performer' Niels van Hoorn (ex Legendary Pink Dots), and the energetic acoustic and electronic drumming of Richard van Kruysdijk (Music for Speakers).
