Auricle New Music Series welcomes John Bischoff for an evening of live computer music on Monday, September 29 at 7:00pm. Free admission, donations welcomed.
Program notes from John Bischoff:
In recent years I have been composing solo pieces using custom analog circuits in tandem with digital synthesis. The circuits produce audio and sub-audio pulsewaves in response to hands-on actions by the performer.
John Bischoff (b. 1949, San Francisco) is an early pioneer of live computer music. He is known for his solo constructions in real-time synthesis as well as the development of computer network music. His recent performances combine hands-on analog circuitry and digital synthesis in open dialog. Sonic attributes in one domain inform music unfolding in the other. The ebb and flow of discontinuity in these systems spontaneously generates form. He has been active in the experimental music scene in the Bay Area for over 40 years as a composer, performer, and teacher. He is a founding member of the LEAGUE OF AUTOMATIC MUSIC COMPOSERS, the world's first computer network band, and co-authored an article on the LEAGUE's music that appeared in "Foundations of Computer Music" (MIT Press 1985). He is also an original member of THE HUB, a band he has performed and recorded with for over 3 decades. He was on faculty for many years in the legendary Music Department at Mills College, in Oakland, CA.
