Deemer

Deemer is Byrne’s electronics duo with Dutch sound artist Merijn Royaards, originally formed during weekly sessions in a Hackney Wick warehouse. Over the years, the project has evolved through a wide range of experimental approaches, keeping the creative process fresh and unpredictable.

Deemer’s debut album Interference Patterns was released in December 2015, followed by Live at the Vortex in 2016—both on the Luminous label. Their third release, Aftermath, features Manchester-based drummer Johnny Hunter. The trio performed at the London Jazz Festival in November 2019 and recorded the album during that same period. Aftermath was released on Luminous on 4 June 2021.
