Lard Free

Lard Free was a bit the project of Gilbert Artman much the same way that Heldon was Richard Pinhas's project. Both groups hold many common points namely highly experimental but yet accessible music that can be linked to Krautrock, a good understanding of minimalist music such as Terry Riley, constant personnel changes and the same musical influences, namely Can, Brian Eno and Robert Fripp. Both Pinhas and Artman collaborated on each other's albums.
