Koltbach

Jan-Christian Groth alias Koltbach is an acoustic-electro artist whose music thrives on minimalist musical gestures and unconventional arrangements. He focuses on programmed tracks and sculpted sounds combined with live recorded acoustic instruments mainly inspired by the unique and soulful neoclassic-electro-scene around Berlin and Iceland. For years he played with several bands as a live musician (including a period of time with Nils Frahm in his early days), was a student of the brazilian musician and composer Dudu Tucci, studied music at the Humboldt University of Kiel, teaches music at a secondary school close to Hamburg and composes as an independent artist.
