Elektrovolt

Elektrovolt is the electronic alter ego of Jimi Hellinga, living in The Hague, the Netherlands. At an early age, Jimi took viola lessons, but making noises and experimenting with sounds and other instruments was what he really wanted to do. After buying his first synthesizer, his first tracks appeared—all played live without sequencers, they were also his first performances. Influenced by Logic System, Kraftwerk, the Hague’s electronic scene and medieval music, his music can be described as melodic, electro, drone, techno. Elektrovolt collaborated with Legowelt (Nacho Patrol, Zandvoort & Uilenbal), Tjebbe van der Kooij (Black Helikopters), Trapper Drone Orchestra and, as a medieval musician, with Carole et Brullare.
