| Hans Blix California Tour Hans Blix, a trio of improvised alchemy, will be bringing their unique sound to California May 18th to the 24th. The trio creates complete songs from seemingly thin air, developing themes, crafting melodies, and surprising the listener at every turn. Possessing the fluditiy of fusion ala Mahavishnu, the textured soundscapes of electronica ala Squarepusher and quiet/loud indie rock dynamics of Blonde Redhead, this is music that captures your attention with epic playing chops but also entrances with ambient tones. Hans Blix's debut album was recently given 4 out of 5 stars by Ghetto Blaster magazine, and has received positive reviews from publications such as The Alternative Press, and The Aquarian.

[Hans Blix] rocks like Battles, Jaga Jazzist, and Tortoise." - alternative press “Scorning convention, Brooklyn trio Hans Blix does without such luxuries as composition and preparation.The band relies on body language and intuition to improvise cohesive works, with no more than a starting note predetermined... Drawing on years of musical training and experience, the members of Hans Blix build off of and expand upon each other's thoughts, resulting in a dynamic and evolving sound." - the aquarian write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Jazz News :: home page |
