lampse.com: "Through his various live shows he has bedazzled his audiences with a mixture of sound art and processed toy-instruments, guitars and domestic appliances, the basis of his musical language. Although influenced by artists such as Fennesz, Merzbow and Tim Hecker, he is always in search of new sonic territories. Machinefabriek tries to incorporate found sound with pre-recorded material and live instrumentation to create dense and abstract sonic environments." More

  wikipedia.org: "Kemialliset Ystävät (Finnish for "Chemical Friends") is the name of a recording project of musician Jan Anderzén of Tampere, Finland. Anderzén began recording under the name in 1995 and although he has enlisted numerous musicians over the years, most Kemialliset Ystävät recordings are solo productions. Often labeled as psych folk, his recordings have included such diverse instruments as detuned guitars, mandolins, balalaikas, toys, hand percussion, and samples from recordings by Sun Ra, Karlheinz Stockhausen and Vibracathedral Orchestra."

wikipedia: "Daniel Higgs is a musician best known as the lead singer for Baltimore band Lungfish but in recent years has begun recording and performing as a solo artist with increasing frequency. Higgs performs on a number of different instruments including guitar, harmonium, banjo, toy piano, and perhaps most famously, the jew's harp (it is the only instrument on his 2005 album "Magic Alphabet"). His solo work tends to be more experimental than the music made by Lungfish and The Pupils, often characterized by extended track length and a droning, expansive playing style that sometimes recalls traditional Indian music."

The WIRE: "The ex-Lungfish man embroiders his shamanistic drones with folk, blues and Norse legends."
