Adam Jansch
Son of legendary guitarist Bert Jansch, Adam grew up around music and has been practising it in one way or another since a young age. Piano lessons were a first step to learning music, followed by taking up bass guitar, an instrument Adam has stuck with to this day.
Stints in school bands 77th Cow and Bellefield acted as a prelude to a flourishing interest in music technology, via Emagic's Logic Pro DAW and his first solo project rev forty. Adam also played bass guitar and keyboards on several of his father's albums.
Currently, Adam's primary musical activity revolves around the studio, embodied in his projects ‑otron, Dorian Zoyd and Hydletts Zoo. Through these projects Jansch has amassed considerable experience with Native Instruments Maschine, Ableton Live, Logic Pro and Cycling '74 Max softwares, running in his MIDI instrument-equipped music production studio.
