Welcome to Hypercustom

The official website of Yuri Landman, builder of experimental electric musical instruments.

 

What this website is about

The goal of this page is to facilitate critical understanding about my instruments and how to play guitar with certain experimental extended techniques, filled up with other things happening in my life & counter culture in general, meant as a overall covering clarification for my artistic motivation. A kind of timeless blog, a personal study, and a multi-connected web of articles, constantly under construction, being reshaped and expanding. Press a blue word and start your trip.

IÕve made a few subdirectories:

List of experimental instruments built by other inventors

Instrument requests and purchasals

į Pricelist and available instruments

į I only do unique odd instrument requests for touring bands or bands I approach, copies mentioned in the pricelist above with slight alterings are possible though.

į Please donÕt mail me for your own interest, weird impossible instrument proposals or for the involved bands.

į IÕm very interested in receiving messages from other instrument builders.
