Hans Christian - Cinema of Dreams (2007)
Hans Christian's musical journey began with cello studies at an early age and soon expanded by playing bass and moving to Hollywood and later to San Francisco. He has worked extensively as a performer and a composer and enjoys a growing recognition for his accomplishments as a producer, player, and engineer. He currently resides in Door County, Wisconsin. http://www.rasa-music.com/Bodies/Hans/body-hans-music.html

Cinema Of Dreams is a collection of solo pieces that I composed and recorded over the last three years. Finding new musical settings for the cello has always been of interest to me, and on this CD I have stretched out in this regard more than ever. Some pieces have an electronic quality with oscillator-driven drone scapes, while others incorporate a distinctly classical orchestral sound. Then again, I also love including Rock and World Music elements, especially in the rhythmic structure. Imagine Film Noir to Electronica, with a detour to India and the Middle East...
So, there you have it- an esoteric blend of cello, combined with a bunch of other instruments that I play (sarangi, nyckelharpa, sitara, bass, sarod, various rhythm instruments, keyboards, etc) and sound design (tape effects, backwards phrasing, half speed loops, etc). Enjoy the journey!!"

Biography :
Producer, Composer, Engineer, and Musician all under one hat. Hans Christian's work in all of these capacities has been documented on countless recording projects, from his participation as a cellist, bass player or multi-instrumentalist, to his collaborations with other artists as a producer and engineer, and to his works as a composer of solo recordings and of RASA's CDs.
Most of Hans' musical life was spend in recording studios- from first recordings at age 16 with a local flamenco group called Duo Flamenco in his home town Hannover, Germany; to recordings in Hamburg at the famous Deutsche Gramophon studios and a local facility called Studio Hafenklang. From there he went to Hollywood to pursue a life as bassist and cellist, performing and recording first with local underground bands and later with popular artists (Robbie Robertson, Sparks, Toni Childs, Gene Clark, and others). Picking up clues from recognized producers T-Bone Burnett, Chad Blake, Daniel Lanois, Mitchel Froom (all of whom he met during sessions) and others, Hans developed a foundation for his work as a composer, producer, and engineer.
His first instrument being the cello, Hans' musicality evolved around Western classical music. Technique and discipline were the building blocks for his musical education, although these were quickly augmented with his choice of the bass guitar as a second instrument (and leading to the subsequent immersion in rock music). The foundation for a rich musical career was thus prepared. His interest in World Music, especially from India, led him to pick up the Indian sarangi and sitara (a small customized sitar) and the Scandinavian nyckelharpa. Hans has played on countless albums, given hundreds of concerts, and produced many projects, including his collaborations with Kim Waters under the name RASA (visit www.rasa-music.com for lots of information) and several recent solo recordings.
Recent projects include new solo instrumental releases called Undefended Heart, Sancta Camisia and Cinema Of Dreams and two new releases with RASA- Temple Of Love and Saffron Blue. His work as a producer and mix engineer keep him busy with ongoing projects throughout the country, ranging stylistically from classical and folk to electronic and Indian devotional music. Hans also recently signed with Banshee Music as a staff composer for TV and advertising.
