Hans Christian-seasoned ‘Musician of the Heart’
Hans Christian’s versatility as cellist, recording artist, and producer for three decades has created a legacy of concerts and recordings that have touched people’s hearts around the world.
Originally from Germany, Hans started his professional career in Los Angeles in the 1980s as a sought after musician (Robbie Robertson, Gene Clark, Sparks, members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Victoria Williams, many others) and developed his skills as musician, producer and recording engineer in some of the finest recording studios. A persistent creative exploration eventually catapulted him into the echelon of eclectic artists that defy easy categorization as he started to compose and perform his own music.
In his solo concerts, his unmistakable cello playing moves the listener with a haunting beauty, and his use of live looping and various ethnic string instruments expresses a universal musical language that transcends boundaries, cultures, and generations.
As a co-founder of the renowned World Music group RASA he developed a devoted fan base while his affiliation with Wisdom University as artist-in-residence has garnered him rare access to the Cathedral in Chartres, France for repeated performance and recording opportunities. Recent noteworthy recordings include a double CD with Andrew Harvey (Rumi Symphony, 2011), with Harry Manx (I Am The Music Of Your Silence, 2012), Hidden Treasures (2014), Nanda Devi (2015), Moments Of Grace (2016) and his newest release Source (2017) which was performed on gongs and sound bowls.
In a typical solo concert Hans focuses on the cello as the main instrument. His unique technique of using live looping (recording phrases live on the spot) brings a symphonic quality to his concerts- further augmented by weaving in additional ethnic string instruments, such as the Indian sarangi and the Swedish nyckelharpa.
Most suitable venues are settings that allow for a focused listening experience (churches, PACs, house concerts, yoga studios, but NOT bars and clubs). Hans also offers gong concerts as "sonic immersions"- suitable for smaller venues, such as yoga studios, healing arts centers, and private homes.
