Hans Tammen creates sounds that have been described as an alien world of bizarre textures and a journey through the land of unending sonic operations. He works with his "Endangered Guitar", a hybrid interactive guitar/software instrument, using the guitar as a sound source and a controller at the same time. Signal To Noise called his works "...a killer tour de force of post-everything guitar damage". In his lecture/discussion, he explains his experimental approach over the last 20 years, and how changes in his approach to sound and improvisation affected his choice of technology. He will also talk about the idea behind the work he presented at DA Fest on Wednesday, 14.09. - a multichannel sound work for modified 5.1 surround sound system.
