DRUMMER / PRODUCER / COMPOSER / IMPROVISER / PERFORMER / MULTIMEDIA ARTIST

 
Originally from Birmingham, Alabama, Jay Frederick is a New York City-based artist whose work includes multiple mediums. Having impressed musicians and critics alike with his highly personal approach to the drumset as a powerful yet uncommonly delicate and sensitive instrument, Frederick's aesthetic has expanded to include photography, film, electro-acoustic soundscapes, as well as popular and rock songcraft.  Inspired and connected to visual arts, Frederick follows a unique path in creating compositional works.

With his first solo project, HAND, Sascha Bachmann combines tape loops and moving images to create contrast with the fast, loud world we live in, forging space for emotions, self-reflection, calmness and also excitement.

On ​Reveal (his 2nd Album),​ Sascha Bachman, aka ​HAND​, has created a unique balance of classic ambient music, sounds and musical figures that touch the edge of melody and harmony, and a just-above-subliminal pulse. These elements come together in a sound world that is in turn comforting and haunting. ​Reveal's​ surface may be gentle, but the music reaches deep, starting with the stratospheric heights of “God Only Knows,” to the galactic distances of “Into the Void,” and concluding with “Poem for Tanja,” a nostalgic poem for magnetic tape.
