Living in Paris, France presently. Since the firstalbum, Silicom, released by Progressive Form in 2000, he has beenlooking at his own personal methodology while creating activities ofsounds mainly based on computer\u002Fsoftware.

With microscopic precision JanJelinek scours his never-ending archive for those fleeting moments,those in-between noises and beat fragments that often get lost betweenhookline and rhythm. With the sampler as his dissection tool he breaksdown these micro fragments into intricate elements Ð production becomesthe re-interpretation, re-formatting and blurring of original material.Since 1998 Jelinek has taken his work to the public: split into there-evaluation of phrases in soul music (as Farben), a reduced approachto the dance-floor (Gramm) or, under his third pseudonym which strictlyspeaking isnÕt one (Jan Jelinek), the exploration of his own productionconcepts, he has so far released six Farben eps on Frankfurt-based labelKlang Elektronik (recently compiled on the album 'Textstar'), followedby a Gramm album on Move D's Source Records and, as Jan Jelinek, with'loop-finding-jazz-records' (~scape) the shifting of linear secondloops, condensing Jazz samples into arrangements with an unrivalleddepth of field.
