Hans Tammen
The music for his large ensemble THIRD EYE ORCHESTRA (string and wind quartets, extended rhythm section, voice and electronics) is inspired by west african roots of Jazz, Miles Davis' Bitches Brew, Steve Coleman, and Stravinsky's layering or Steve Reich's phase techniques. All About Jazz called the music nothing short of breathtaking, and a masterpiece of musical evocation.
Hans Tammen is currently playing a Buchla Music Easel, a West Coast analog synthesizer created for improvisers who look for surprising results.
