Hans Fjellestad
Los Angeles musician and filmmaker Hans Fjellestad tours and records extensively
as a solo artist and in collaboration with numerous players on the experimental music
scene in well over a dozen countries. An "innovative musician" (All About Jazz) and
"mad scientist improviser" (International DJ Magazine), his music has been described
as "unbridled sonic freedom... raw, almost shamanic energy that embodies the true
essence of unrestricted music" (XLR8R) and a "spicy concoction... refusing to behave
itself, it screams, throws things and makes a mess" (The Wire). A classically trained
pianist, these days Hans concocts most of his unbridled sound messes with analog synths
and vacuum tubes. As filmmaker, Hans directed the feature documentaries Frontier Life
(2002) and Moog (2004). \
