Hansen approaches the record player as an instrument, needles cut through vinyl, Harsh ticks, scratches  and distorted bits of information are put forth. Records are being replaced by the  players themselves now used to generate sound that is processed through a series of  lo-fi electronics, haunted by samples. Sounds are chosen at random, slowed down and ripped apart.

Hansen, in duos with Tomasz Krakowiak, has performed and recorded with John Butcher, Kaffe Matthews, Gert Jan -Prins, Michael Snow, John Oswald and Sook Yin Lee.
