Holzkopf

about

Holzkopf is a Canadian electronic musician Jacob Audrey Revington Taves from Vancouver, Canada. While he have been active under various names and in various projects since 1997 (STD, Distal Magg, Titanarum, others), the first album using the Holzkopf name was released in 2001 on Canadian label Dainty Deathy Recordings. Over years of recording and performing, Holzkopf has explored microsound compositions, (almost) slapstick collage, deep ambient music, gospel influenced industrial electronics, harsh noise dub and fast paced cut-up dance music. A decidedly non-traditional musician, he have mainly used budget bin samplers and drum machines in combination with tape recorders, mixing board feedback and raw data sounds. Holzkopf's recent performances draw as much from experimentalists like Coil and Nurse with Wound as he do from the dub science of Lee "Scratch" Perry and the blown out aesthetic of Mainliner or Melt-Banana. Part ritual, part dub and jungle influenced dance music, part freeform experimentation. http://www.holzkopf.ca User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
