Einzelne is the solo project of singer-songwriter Jack Merlin Booth who grew up between Liverpool, UK and Perth in Western Australia and is of Irish descent. Booth formerly played in a duo with Eleni Poulou (The Fall, Mark E Smith) and as the viola player in the Berlin band The Midnight Audience. Einzelne was founded in Berlin in 2022 with the aim to write, record and produce alone, functioning as a one person group relying on no musicians, engineers or instrumentation from outside, in a spirit of isolationism from the surrounding culture, informed by the ideas of John Balance.

Booth works with guitars, viola, lute, flute, shakuhachi, tape, image,
field recordings, histories and traditions.

As a project it’s current works include music, poetry, essays and
photography.

Einzelne’s primary influences are traditional Irish, Scottish and
English folk music, Béla Bartók, Luigi Nono, the 60s British Folk
Revival movement (primarily Bert Jansch, John Renbourn and Roy Harper), Nick Drake, Jackson C Frank, John Fahey, Elliot Smith, Richard Dadd and John Keats.

die kleinen ritournelle und die großen parolen der verdunkelungsmaschine / klang als tollwutsverzehrung und bildentzerrung / text als hybronemesis und wahrheitswahn / exaltationstrieb und hyperbolizismus als Stachel der bösen dunkelheitsschwirrer / denn nur die verbreitung der krankheit bringt das heilmittel hervor
