Jan Jelinek creates abstract sound collages from fragments of popular music using tape, samplers, and digital devices. Since 1998, he’s released work under various pseudonyms and collaborated with artists like Sarah Morris and Masayoshi Fujita. Founder of the Faitiche label, he produces experimental radio pieces and live “Ecstatic Sound Collages.” His work spans electroacoustic music, minimal drone, and improvised sound processing, often exploring fictional identities and transforming source material into repetitive, abstract textures.
