poire_z (the underscore is part of the name) was an electronic free improvisation group formed about 2000
Personnel:
- eRik M: turntables, effects
- Gunter Muller: percussion, effects
- Andy Guhl and Norbert Möslang (who recorded as Voice Crack) on homemade electronics.
As with much free improvisation, poire_z's music is generally focused more on a group sound, and given the musicians' unorthodox approach to their instruments, it's often difficult to discern who is generating any individual sound. One piece is described as "delicate tones, crackles and light bubbling sounds, resting and intermingling with characteristic weightlessness, only occasionally being interrupted by glimpses of harsher textures."

poire_z often invited a fifth musician as a guest: Keith Rowe, Phil Minton, Christian Marclay, Otomo Yoshihide, Sachiko M and others were invited to perform with the core quartet.
poire_z have disbanded.
