Bio

jjjacob is a Copenhagen-based artist who has set out to explore the implications of electronic music on a personal and societal level. The hyper digital infrastructure of the internet has sent him on a quest to spread his musical vision as far as possible from home, which has given him opportunities to release music with various foreign labels and to get booked with his live-act in other European towns such as London, Milan & Tallinn playing with alongside artists as Swan Meat, Spinee, Hyph11e and Blank Banshee. In the tension field between the intimate and emotional on one side, and the violent and chaotic on the other, jjjacob's compositions flourish as the soundtrack to some forgotten dream world. Through sound collages of distorted samples, grandiose synthmelodies and percussive beats, he portrays his reflections about himself and the world around him in the nonverbal ways of music. And even though his style ranges from meditational ambient floaters to aggressive club-inspired bangers, he has found his own personal blueprint in terms of sound and aesthetic. As a liveact, jjjacob reinterprets his productions through a jumble of computer-controlled effects and a handful of midi controllers.
