Jan Jelinek

Sobre

Jan Jelinek is a musician, producer, composer and remixer. His works translate popular music sources into abstract textures. Rather than using traditional instruments, he constructs collages out of tiny sound particles. Since 2000, he has released material under both his own name and various pseudonyms (incl. <a href="spotify:artist:6qKcXi2VGoQxJhu3PZewHu" data-name="Ursula Bogner">Ursula Bogner</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7rJ3Myc4crprUmH9vfOzLY" data-name="Gramm">Gramm</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0sHcfpzKE72Jn6xq8VmMU4" data-name="Farben">Farben</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5IgoCOLmsCTKzPjscTWn1r" data-name="Gesellschaft Zur Emanzipation Des Samples">Gesellschaft Zur Emanzipation Des Samples</a>).
