Formed in 1980, by three former Emma Myldenberger musicians as a new instrumental group, it was virtually guaranteed the Radio Noisz Ensemble were going to be something extraordinary. And, in fact, what they came up with was a logical development from those folk-rock and ethnic spiced instrumentals of Emma Myldenberger.

On YNIVERZE the music had become really complex, involving even more mantric styled rhythms (akin to Third Ear Band), along with extensive use of Turkish and Middle-Eastern themes, and a spellbinding hypnotic quality that''s so invigorating. Only one German band ever really hinted at this sort of music before, namely Between, especially with their rhythmic structure, oboe as lead instrument and incessant innovation. But the Radio Noisz Ensemble''s development on this idea was even more radical and groundbreaking!

Since their demise, Biber Gullatz has become much sought after as a session musician, working mostly in the jazz and world music fields, and features in Mani Neumeier''s "Terra Amphibia" project.
