LYSN is a minimal psychedelic group with a continuously changing line up playing music for the inner-space age
from 2005 – 2017 Lysn performed in England, the Netherlands, Germany, Russia and Austria with many formations, from duos to large orchestral ensembles – each Lysn concert was conceived as a unique event, especially designed for the location and players, with music made through new notation, meditation and improvisation, played on acoustic and electronic instruments
some key musical influences in the development of Lysn’s sound included:
Eliane Radigue, John Hassel, Don Cherry, Spacemen 3, Gong, Olivier Messiaen, Matmos, Can, The Leather Nun, George Russell, Sun Ra, Public Image Limited, Catherine Christer Hennix, Nurse With Wound, Cluster, Angelo Badalamenti, Velvet Undergound, Slug, The Necks and Igor Wakevitch
