In October 2015, Baker and Järmyr, having never previously played together, met up in Berlin's Golden Retriever Studios. Over the course of the day, they played two entirely improvisational sets, presented here as two separate CDs, exploring sounds which combine minimal atmospheres and propulsive noise, abstract melodics and dense drone metal. Werl was mastered by James Plotkin and features artwork by Belgian artist Kato Six.

Aidan Baker is a Canadian musician and writer currently based in Berlin, Germany. Classically trained in flute, he is self-taught on guitar, drums, and various other instruments. As a solo artist, Baker explores the deconstructive sonic possibilities of the electric guitar as a primary sound source, creating music that ranges from experimental to post-rock to contemporary classical. He also performs with the groups Nadja and B/B/S/, among other projects.

Tomas Järmyr is a Swedish drummer currently based in Trondheim, Norway. He plays with several groups (Zu, Yodok III, Barchan), as well as performing solo, exploring percussive based sounds that move between ambient, jazz, and metal.
