Hauan collaborates within the duo AvantGong including Jørn Øien, where they want to create forms, melodies and coherence using synths, drums, electronics with free music and world music as a starting point. The result is musical ideas where the sound sources merges seamlessly into a free-improvised expression that groove and tonality varied through a stream of fascinating sound images. Inspired by the music and cultures from around the world, electronica music and noise, jazz and improvisational music, the duo seeks to create a distinctive sound.
Hauan is one of the initiators behind 'Lillesalen' concert series. The event which since the fall has taken place in 'Lillesalen' at Chateau Neuf, aims to be a stage for talented jazz musicians. According to the organizers, they are among the few that focuses exclusively on this group.[1]
