Patchwork

While growing up under the background training of classical and folk guitar, Jens Paulsen took a slightly different musical direction when he took the alias of "Patchwork." Consisting of the trio "me, myself and I, " Paulsen combined an ambient flow of electronic/psychedelic overtones that could fit into the category of "new age, " even though that term is considered taboo by Paulsen. This sound is characterized on Patchwork's self-titled debut in 1997, followed by Odeon a year later and 1999's Marsmellow. Diorama appeared in mid-2000. - Mike DaRonco
