In 2014 Elmer started a collaboration with Richard van der Keur by the name 'Emellan' which is a Swedish expression with the meaning 'amongst events'. With Emellan Elmer returned to the acoustic guitars and started singing. Highlights are a tour through England and the release of their full lenght album "Klein Bombastisch" composed and arranged by Richard and Elmer during winter 2015/2016. The album includes both Dutch, English, Swedish and French lyrics. An aspect Elmer took with him to his solo project (Embodiment). In spring 2017 Elmer and Richard separated indefinitely in favour of other/new projects in their personal careers.
