Hanno Leichtmann is a German sound artist, producer and curator based in Berlin, who also works under the moniker
Chromacolor. He is a member of the bands
Groupshow, with
Jan Jelinek and
Andrew Pekler, and
Denseland, with David Moss and Hannes Strobl. A quietly influential figure among electronic and experimental circles since the late 90s, Leichtmann has been developing a sprawling and idiosyncratic vision both as a creator and curator.
With a keen sense for charting new territories, Leichtmann's work spawns a multitude of languages that go from delicate ambient excursions to techno explorations or abstract sceneries on numerous sound installations, releases on such esteemed labels like Entr'acte, Karl Records,
Arbitrary, The Tapeworm or
Discrepant and collaborations with artists like
Valerio Tricoli or Jan Jelinek.
