tay0 is a name I've used some variant of since 1986 as a conduit for my bedroom studio experiments while I played "real" music in a number of bands. I've done a few remix projects, some production for other artists, and some TV / film work. For the past several years I've been collaborating with other like-minded folks like weaklazyliar, drummer Mitch Sosebee and, recently, steelmaster Stacy Cargal. I also play keyboards and guitar with Atlanta artists Lindsay Rakers and Blair Lott.

Style: abstract expressionist hip-hop, or maybe post-gospel micro-funk

Kit: Moog, Roland and Nord synthesizers, Apple computers, Digidesign and Steinberg software, other random pedals, mixers, microphones and such.

Influences: Brian Eno, John Cage, Bill Laswell, Meat Beat Manifesto, The Orb, Mark Rothko, Thelonious Monk, MMW, DJ Shadow, Eric Satie, George Clinton, NASA, Glenn Gould, Gary Numan, Kraftwerk, Jim O'Rourke, Sonic Youth, Oscar Peterson, Aphex Twin, Jackson Pollock, DJ Logic, Run-DMC, Herbie Hancock

Bio: I discovered elecronic music methods at an early age, becoming fascinated with tape machines, turntables, and unusual guitar approaches as a teenager. Fortunately, my coming of age coincided with the arrival of small, affordable synthesizers and drum machines in the early 1980s. I've spent the time since then trying to reconcile my obsession with electronic forms with my love of roots music, folk forms, funk, jazz, and rock & roll.

Charles Mingus (probably) said that there's only two kinds of music: good and bad. I'll take that a step further and say that there's only two kinds of music: that which makes sound, and that which doesn't. At least with that, I know which kind I'm doing.

reklein came about in 2004 first as a record label. it was formed to bring a group of friends together under one umbrella. though their styles differed greatly, they all shared a love for electronic music. this never panned out and reklein went to the wayside until now. 2 of the friends/musicians, hans grubb and andrew velker, decided to work on a new project and try to fit their 2 styles together. since this fit so closely with what was trying to be done before, they decided to stick with the same moniker.

hans grubb and andrew velker have been making music for over 9 years, and worked on projects together off and on (nimbus and have recently been featured on each others works nurv/recode (walking on water, cambric, roane, dancing shadows). together they bring the best of both worlds. with hans' ability of abstract arrangements, and detailed drum and glitch programming to andrew's ambient, moody texture based electronic feel. together they provide a great listening experience.
