Odd request here.

Mr. Duke? TP  Alan... and anyone else who might have had personal
contact with Kelli Hand... I need some input on her.

I've found very limited information on the web.  Nothing even seems to
indicate how old she is -- there isn't a good biography of her anywhere,
either.  I have no clue what her musical background is or who it was [aside
from a mention of Jeff Mills helping her start her label] who assisted her
in establishing Acacia.



-Don't know if this helps but there was an interview in Generator-magazine 
couple of years ago ('96/'97?), which explained those issues and a had 
little biography; how she got interested in the music and so on... And how 
she eventually left Detroit because of the attitude other (male)producers 
gave toward her.
Acacia was first named UK House records but eventually name was chanced 
after two releases (I think?). Both were by Etat Solide (K. Hand). Fine 
releases both of them.

Help w/Kelli Hand...

Odd request here.

Mr. Duke? TP  Alan... and anyone else who might have had personal 
contact with Kelli Hand... I need some input on her.


I've found very limited information on the web.  Nothing even seems to 
indicate how old she is -- there isn't a good biography of her anywhere, 
either.  I have no clue what her musical background is or who it was [aside 
from a mention of Jeff Mills helping her start her label] who assisted her 
in establishing Acacia.  There are some interviews in techno.de from 
Frontpage but alas, they are in German --> Babelfish can only do me so much 
good, you know?


I am interested in any opinions, perspectives... thoughts on her production 
technique... how she is perceived.  I need this information for a paper I 
am writing for my women's studies class.


So... if anyone has $0.02 to share... or who might be able to help me out 
with a biography or something about Ms. Hand, I'd appreciate it muchly.
