“Off the coast”, the duo's second album, was produced during two intensive weeks in Norway and Austria in October 2017 and released two years later. The music was recorded and compiled over a week long residency on a remote island outside of Trondheim, Norway. The duo invited harpist Julie Rokseth and headed to Sula, a tiny piece of land off the coast and in the Norwegian sea. In its heyday, a fishing community with close to 500 inhabitants, now home to around 60 permanent residents (that have a broad verbal spectrum for describing wind and it's changing character). Arriving by boat with a clean slate, the duo decided to start by exploring and recording sound material from Rokseth's baroque harp, as well as researching the best way to record her “wind harp”, an instrument of nineteen strings that when held at an angle in the right amount of wind starts playing it's own spectral song. By slowly letting the new material unfold and layering a range of sound sources in addition to the duo's regular setup, it soon became clear that the physical impact of the islands grounded people, intense weather and striking 360 degree ocean view would affect the music more than anticipated. Deciding to quite literally represent the experience by adding elemental field recordings and keeping the birds chirping along with the wind harp, the project also was fortunate to involve a surprise guest, Aksel Johansen, a man in his 80's and a “Sula original”. As people here commonly do, he stopped by unannounced several times to see what was going on. Locally well known for his good stories

The duo's most recent collaborative recording was produced remotely during the pandemic. "The Best Is Yet To Come" was recorded and produced by Lercher and Nørstebø from June to November 2020, utilizing the power of the internet to exchange sound files and project folders between Vienna and Trondheim/Berlin. Two tracks were based on acoustic recordings by Henrik, reworked by Daniel, while the third track started off with Daniel's electronic material, rearranged by Henrik. Each track was then sent back and forth several times for various edits, splices and mixing steps, before reaching its final form. Track three features the unique voice of Audrey Chen, who plunges into the depths of her lower register. Select parts of the material was then weaved into the mix, lusciously contrasting the electronics.

This was Lercher and Nørstebø's fifth collaborative release, following duo albums "TH_X" (Chmafu, 2014) and "Off the Coast" (SOFA, 2019, featuring Julie Rokseth), live concert online release "Stillverk, Sula adaptation" (2019) and Lercher's "dhalang | hoax" (2019). The release was an unofficial celebration of the duo's tenth year of existence!
