Git plucking, violin sawing, knob twiddling, wax handling, wave channeling man about town...
Composer, producer, engineer, dj and multi-instrumentalist (violin, guitar, electronics) Hahn Rowe has migrated freely between the rock, electronic music, improvisation and new music scenes for over 20 years. As a member of composer GLENN BRANCA's ensemble in the mid 80s, he was introduced to NYC's cross pollinating music and art scenes. It was during this time that he joined atmospheric chamber rock quartet HUGO LARGO, who released two acclaimed records on BRIAN ENO's Opal/Land label.
Hahn Rowe has worked on a diverse assortment of recordings by people such as DAVID BYRNE, FOETUS, IKUE MORI, ANTONY AND THE JOHNSONS, MIMI, MOBY, R.E.M., THAT PETROL EMOTION, SYD STRAW, SWANS, ZAHAR, FIREWATER and MICHAEL BROOK.
Hahn Rowe's work with Brussels/Berlin based choreographer MEG STUART (DAMAGED GOODS) has resulted in the creation of 5 major evening length dance/theater works - DISFIGURE STUDY, NO LONGER READYMADE, REPLACEMENT, BLESSED, and FORGERIES, LOVE AND OTHER MATTERS.
Hahn is currently active as a composer for film and television, creating scores for films such as CLEAN, SHAVEN by Lodge Kerrigan, SPRING FORWARD by Tom Gilroy and MARRIED IN AMERICA by Michael Apted.
