Musician

Hans Tammen

Born:

Hans Tammen is a Brooklyn-based guitarist whose rapid-fire juxtapositions of radically contrastive and fascinating sounds capture the energy and abstract musicality that his original influences, Sonny Sharrock and Pete Cosey, brought to music. Signal To Noise called his works "...a killer tour de force of post-everything guitar damage", his playing has been described as “transforming a sequence of instrumental gestures into a wide territory of semi-hostile discontinuity; percussive, droning, intricately colorful, or simply blowing your socks off”, with his "...fingers stuck in a high voltage outlet" (Touching Extremes).

Hans Tammen: Third Eye Orchestra

Read "Third Eye Orchestra" reviewed by Marc Medwin


This is a stunning live recording from one of improvised music's most fascinating proponents. Hans Tammen has gathered a dream team of 13 improvising musicians, but that's hardly the totality of this project, which combines composed material with extemporization to create a score whose modus operandi is constant change on every level. This ...
