Hans Christian (also seen as Hans Christian Reümschuessel or Hans Christian Reumschüssel and other variations) is a German-born musician and producer now based in the U.S. in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. Christian is a multi-instrumentalist (often bass guitar, cello, nyckelharpa, and sarangi, but also balalaika, banjo, santoor, sitar, tambura, etc.) usually associated with Indian world music, ethnic fusion, chamber jazz and sometimes new-age music, but who also plays classical music. His production work includes projects in a range of genres, from classical to bluegrass, folk, rock, and devotional chants. He operates a recording studio in Sturgeon Bay, WI called STUDIO 330 and a record label named Allemande Music.
Since his 1994 debut album, Christian has recorded twelve solo albums, plus six albums as part of the duo Rasa. Formerly a session musician in Los Angeles in the 1980s, he also collaborated since the 1990s as a guest musician on albums from prominent artists such as experimental pop band Amoeba, alternative world band Vas, singer Krishna Das, and ambient musician Robert Rich. Christian also did technical work (producer, engineer, mastering) for artists such as Jai Uttal, Ancient Future, Habib Khan, Silvia Nakkach, Dr. Jeffrey D. Thompson, Suzanne Teng, and many others.
