Jan Jelinek's approach is all about the transformation of sounds, about devising a method for translating the pathos of old Motown records or the excesses of funk into abstract, reduced electronics. More recently he has begun to work with loops, with slight modulations that convey the gist of a piece of music, even help to define it more clearly, yet mask the actual source. Since 1998, Jelinek has been releasing records under a number of pseudonyms, adaptations of a method with surprisingly different outcomes. The evolution of a specific signature sound without the constraints of auto-repetition. While Gramm stands for pulsating minimal Electronica, Farben explores the reinterpretation of soul by dissecting Jelinek's record collection and rearranging it in subtle variations: Frankfurt-based label 'Klang Elektronik' published a total of seven different Farben EPs, (later re-released as the 'Textar' compilation) - a play on the German term 'Klangfarben' (timbre, literally 'colors of sound') and a subtle translation of the originally painstakingly arranged music into completely purified, yet no less precisely arranged, even danceable soundscapes. To celebrate the release of Jelinek's latest album 'Tierbeobachtungen' an all-star cast, including Pole and Thomas Fehlmann, has interpreted the album's songs, a live recording of the concert has recently been released as a digital exclusive under the title 'Hub - Tierbeobachtungen'.
