Hyperbolic Quartet is a Free Improvisation/ spontaneous composition instrumental group based in Los Angeles.  Members are Bruce Friedman, Trumpet/ Flugelhorn;  Haskel Joseph, Guitar;  Breeze Smith, Drums/ Percussion; and Darryl Tewes, Bass;  all of whom have a checkered connection with jazz, new music, improvisation, pop, noise, blues, prog and so-called serious music.  

Guitarist Tellef Øgrim of Oslo, Norway explores the esoteric expressionism of jazz and beyond.

No more days jobs thanks to becoming mentally unhinged.  So, I practice my guitar masochistically, edit nude actress scenes out of films, play with my cats, listen to the weirdest shit I can find and share the products of my guitar chops with the world including you who are reading this now.  Most of my tracks are free to download should you so desire (unless I actually composed it)

All of these tracks were made without editing. They were performed live without a mixer or crossfader and recorded into a smart phone from a tape cassette turn dial. Save productions of beats and rearrange sequences and make loops and scratch using your samples that you record so you don't have to use vinyl or computers to jam. It saves a lot of money and can be used with instruments and be used for live performing. Sake's it is a great instrument, safe bet, it will play to reel machines that big production companies use to make techno and drum and bass and allow people to perform live arrangements. Rage with  the ability to feel the track and know where it is. Using the dial produces a drum like characteristic feel. Using your fingers to tap it along with the speed control knob it allows the pitch to change making it able to fast forward causing loops to change sound and return back to regular play and rearrange parts live. If you would like to know how to build one message me. I don't sell it I want to give people the opportunity to make one and not have to pay a lot of mark-up profit, also so you know how it functions and it doesn't break. Later...

After 40 years acting as side man of several artists, working on studies and concerts I decided to release this instrumental single.
For the second half of this year I will launch an albun by Cd Baby with distribution for all platforms.
I hope you enjoy and comment.
Thank you very much !!!
