lysn

lysn (“listen”) – a minimal psychedelic group with a continuously changing line up, playing music for the inner-space age

this project existed from 2005 – 2017 and is fully documented here

the ensemble has played worldwide (and beyond) with many formations, from duos to large orchestral ensembles – each concert is conceived as a unique event, especially designed for the location and players, with music made through new notation, meditation and improvisation, played on acoustic and electronic instruments

musical influences include:

Daevid Allen, Eliane Radigue, John Hassel, Don Cherry, Spacemen 3, Gong, Olivier Messiaen, Matmos, Can, The Leather Nun, George Russell, Sun Ra, Public Image Limited, Catherine Christer Hennix, Nurse With Wound, Cluster, Angelo Badalamenti, Velvet Undergound, Slug, The Necks and Igor Wakevitch
