psychon
Psychon is the outfit of Lars Meijer, Coen Polack and Jantijn Prins who previously recorded six cd's as Psychon Troopers. The group formed out of a need to turn their collective interest in other people's music into new music of their own. In doing so, they noticed that some of those interests were very opposite but nonetheless very fruitful. Prince's brand of funk, rock according to Guided by Voices, German and British electronica and the free spirit of John Coltrane are but a small taste of influences. Improvisation was the method they chose on their first six cd's, but their recent material is entirely composed. Still, the similarity and non-similarity in their individual musical tastes, provide the basis for making music. Freejazz, krautrock, ambient, electronica and arenarock are concurring to remain in focus and while doing so they form interesting hybrids. Psychon Troopers have done several live performances in the past. Psychon has decided to be a studio project only.
