Bypassing the rules of traditional musicianship, Jan Jelinek prefers to construct collages from tiny sound fragments, from the lost-and-found products of samplers, tape recorders, media players and other recording implements. To this end, Jan Jelinek often works with loops and slight modulations to distil the gist of a piece of music and define it more clearly while masking its original source. In the late 1990s he started to release his works under the pseudonyms Farben and Gramm, adapting his primary sampling premise to a surprising range of different sounds. During the following years, Jan Jelinek released solo projects under his own name on the scape-label, collaborated with artists like Sarah Morris or German author Thomas Meinecke, played a range of laptop or gadget-based live sets, worked with improvisation ensembles from Japanese trio Computer Soup to the Australian jazz formation Triosk and created a number of audio-visual performances with video artist Karl Kliem, founded with Hanno Leichtmann and Andrew Pekler the Trio Groupshow and launched in 2008 the label faitiche. Jan Jelinek is currently available with following projects : Jan Jelinek Farben Jan Jelinek & Masayoshi Fujita Groupshow (Jan Jelinek, Andrew Pekler & Hanno Leichtmann) Andrew Pekler & Jan Jelinek play Ursula Bogner (Sonne = Blackbox) News : Faitiche is very pleased to announce the release of the second Farben 12" single. Xango gathers four new recordings that exhibit a sketch-like quality and make do without complex arrangements. While "Eroten reiten auf eineN Delphin" is based on a previously unreleased theme by Ursula Bogner, the remaining three tracks perfectly exemplify the spontaneity and simplicity of Jan Jelinek’s current recordings. Farben's erstwhile wish to translate the sexiness of a Burt Bacharach song into club music is taken up again on Xango. The world is writing about Farben :
