Bernd Friedmann (* 1965 in Coburg ; also Burnt Friedman ) is a German musician and producer who works under various project names in the fields of electronica , dub and jazz .

Life

Friedmann grew up in Kassel. From 1986 to 1990 he studied fine art at the local art college. His first recordings were made in 1978. Since 1990, records have been published under the following project names:

  • Some More Crime (1990–1995, Friedmann and Frank Hernandez)
  • Drome (1991–1995, Friedmann and Frank Hernandez)
  • Nonplace Urban Field (1992–1997)
  • Flanger (1999-, Friedmann and Atom Heart )
  • Burnt Friedman & The Nu Dub Players (1999-)
  • Burnt Friedman & Jaki Liebezeit (2002-2017)
  • Nine Horses (2005-, Friedmann and David Sylvian )

Friedmann's music can rarely be clearly classified. His instruments range from samplers, drums, analog synthesizers and organs to instruments such as children's piano , steel drum , kalimba , vibraphone and melodica . Over the years his own sound has become a trademark that makes him instantly recognizable in remixes of other people's pieces.

Friedmann has been running the record label nonplace since 2000 .
