About Me |
|
hello. hans here... i make live music and recordings and films. i live in los angeles and play+record+shoot+screen a lot of different places in the u.s., canada, europe, australia, japan, mexico, brazil... solo and sometimes also with cool players like muhal richard abrams, george lewis, peter kowald, lé quan ninh, lisle ellis, haco, yoshimi, money mark, david scott stone, audrey chen, baiyon, thomas dimuzio, uchihashi kazuhisa, marcos fernandes, mike keneally, donkey, trummerflora, nortec collective. these days i mostly make music with analog synths and vacuum tubes... or maybe homemade stuff or piano or theremin or church organ or sounds with my voice. been doing it for a long long time. and i made the docu film MOOG and also FRONTIER LIFE and i'm supposed to direct a norwegian black metal movie (not a docu) called LORDS OF CHAOS. hopefully start shooting that soon. don't ask me when exactly because i don't know exactly. i do like it when people come to my shows and buy my cd's and dvd's and when magazines say nice things about me... "A master of analogue synthesis." - The Wire "Adding fractured melody and obscure structure to dissonant, dislocated fragments of sound, Fjellestad seems to have uncovered a new way of hearing the world." - Mojo "The soundtrack for the occasionally rain-soaked streets of L.A. after dark, when the city hums and grinds behind glittery scenes." - XLR8R "Fjellestad encapsulates the ethos of 'man and machine' perfectly." - DJ Magazine |
