Giedo Primo - a short introduction

Giedo Primo is the name most often used by the electronic musician Jannik Juhl when making tracks or playing live. Over the last decade a specific Giedo Primo sound have been shaped, containing strong elements of analogue rave techno and old 8 bit computer game music, and sometimes described as a having similarities with electro, acid and breakcore, but in the end not sounding like much else around. Most of all it is a part of a unique style called skrot, which have developed in Giedo Primos home city of Odense, Denmark.

The music is made with a heap of more-or-less antiquated hardware machinery, and even the tracks that are later released are recorded as live one track takes. The result in a rather "raw", perhaps lo fi sound, and recordings that can never be fully repeated. The approach also makes every Giedo Primo concert a unique experience, with plenty of room for variation, improvisation and audience feedback.

In addition to the solo productions, Giedo Primo is working with several other projects. In particular he is half of the hardcore/acid/skrot-duo Genespleizer, but he is also involved in Organbox with Ras Bolding, and he have been playing with the unpredictable improvisational project Ekkoregimet, as well as with avant garage rock group The Live Museum. Sometimes Giedo Primo also works as a DJ, sometimes using the name Giedo Secundus.
