Celebrating Electronics: Music by John Bischoff featuring James Fei and Tim Perkis
Online
САД Map
John Bischoff is a master composer/performer who explores boundaries and exchanges between analog and digital sound in real-time. The subtle interchange between these two realms is a form of musical alchemy, much in the tradition of the legendary composer/performer David Tudor. Bischoff's circuit/laptop configurations create musical forms both spontaneously and algorithmically: a computer analyzes improvised analog sounds and creates musical structures based upon pre-conceived algorithms. He aptly describes this process as a "hybrid method that falls between traditional composition (invention ahead of time) and free improvisation (invention in the moment)." The conceptual basis underlying his music is rich; and the musical forms he creates are invariably elegant and coherent. That Bischoff creates his compositions live in performance attest to his artistic mastery. He is without doubt a leading composer/performer in the field of electronic music.

Notes
Visibility Study and Bitplicity start with pulse-wave oscillators sounding in audio and sub-audio realms that are animated by performer actions-primarily the momentary shorting of conductive points in each circuit. To accomplish this, the circuits are fabricated with critical trace points brought to the top of the circuit box in the form of brass rails. The rails run parallel to each other where they can be "shorted" with coins wielded by the performer. In some cases the coins are packaged into a variable resistance "sandwich" using anti-static foam as a filler.
