Hurra caine Landcrash

Daniel Hopkins - AKA Hurra caine Land Crash – covers many bases. Commissioned as a film maker by Channel 4 his work has gained national exposure, whilst as a musician he has had spot play on some of London's cool internet radio stations - Resonance FM and ILL FM - as well as picking up plays and accolades in Sweden, Canada and Italy. Having self released three albums to date, Occupying a place in the current Avant Garde, Dan's work is impossible to pigeon hole, and it is far from conventional. Using a guitar as an instrument in a totally new way, i.e. dropping shells, pebbles and stones on the strings and body to extract "noisy textures" which are then processed in real time through various filters and effects using a laptop, Dan discovers strange and intriguing ambient noises. What is produced for the listener is a musical voyage reminiscent on the one hand of no wave punk and then sweeping to more ethereal esoteric sound-scapes. His work is disorientating, strange and at the same time oddly familiar.
