Janek Schaefer

Janek Schaefer is a British sound artist and composer, born in England in 1970. His work spans records, installations and live performance built from field recordings, found sounds and old vinyl, often played on the tri-phonic turntable he designed in 1997, a three-armed record player. An early piece, Recorded Delivery, was made from a sound-activated recorder sent through the British post. Schaefer released his first studio album, Above Buildings, on Fat Cat in 2000, and runs his own label, audiOh! Recordings.
