Basic Info| Name: | Brett |
|---|---|
| Location: | Brisbane, Queensland, Australia |
| Website: | bretthansen.com: my art website |
BioI'm a musician in 2 bands - I play keyboard in Headkase & Silent Partners. I've been playing piano since I was 3 years old. I'm also a keen percussionist and turntablist (scratch DJ).
I am a cartoonist by trade, drawing cartoon illustrations for technical and general print media (some clients have included Education Queensland, Lifeline, Leukaemia Foundation, Commerce Queensland and 4zZz radio station).
Formal qualifications - Diploma of Visual Arts: Animation; Diploma of Freelance Cartooning & Illustration; Advanced Certificate in Multi-Disciplinary Arts, Design & Technology (Fine Art & Illustration); Certificate III in Animation; Certificate III in Film & Television.
http://www.bretthansen.com features my student films to download, as well as samples of my cartoon and art work. My animated student films, "Blind Man's Rough" (1998) and "Weasel Boy in: Shop Goes the Weasel" (2000) can also be found on YouTube.
In 1997, while in the USA, I had the pleasure of meeting and discussing animation techniques with fellow animators in Hollywood studios Klasky-Csupo (Rugrats, Duckman, The Simpsons 87-92) and Film Roman (The Simpsons 92-current, Family Guy, King of the Hill).
Since those early beginnings studying classical piano from the age of 3, I now perform keyboard in 2 bands, which are described in detail below:
1. HEADKASE
http://www.headkase.net, http://www.myspace.com/headkasehq
Industrial/techno-flavoured circus-metal.
(Perhaps of interest to fans of Mr. Bungle, Dog Fashion Disco, Vicious Hairy Mary, Carnival in Coal, System of a Down, Slipknot)
2. SILENT PARTNERS
http://www.mp3.com.au/silentpartners, http://www.myspace.com/silentpartnersau
Avant-garde improvised, experimental noise art.
(Perhaps of interest to fans of John Zorn, Mike Patton, John Kaada, Ulver, End, Einsturzende Neubauten, Toydeath, Boredoms, Fantomas, Locust, Painkiller, Secret Chiefs 3, Mr. Bungle, Monsieur Camembert)
A third band, MARLINCHEN, which was receiving very positive feedback in music media, suddenly broke up in early 2007.
http://www.mp3.com.au/marlinchen, http://marlinchen.blogspot.com
A crawling ambience, featuring violin, guitar, keys, bass, glockenspiel, and occasional operatic vocals.
(Perhaps of interest to fans of Sigur Rós, Amiina, Múm, Trinkets, Decoder Ring, Bloon, Ulver)
I live with my beautiful fiancée Jen.

Other fun facts about Brett:
- Was scratch DJ/turntablist and keyboard player in a jazz-funk band called BORIS.
- Was a bongo player in an unnamed percussion group many years ago. Today he occasionally busks with a djembe, and played percussion at "Moonfest" as often as possible until it's recent end.
