Artist description Jeff Eliassen (Trilm Trollumps Music, Here We Are In The Years, Sophia)is a composer, arranger, multi-instrumentalist and performer that is creating a unique catalog of albums that are vastly different from one another, but together telling a collective story. He is making strong and subtle music that pays tribute to his influences and heroes, (Brian Wilson, R. Stevie Moore, Randy Newman, Nick Drake, Peter Gabriel) while never emulating their sounds for a second. The dense layering of sound and texture creates a very personal + creative symphonic environment for jeff's melodic, harmonic, and neurotic mind.
