Encountering my first microphone at age 3, first tape recorder at age 8, love at first sight for both, digging under leaves and bark for pillbugs and millipedes, hiding under hemlock trees, growing up as the child of flightless birds, discovering Merrill in my 20s and Mahfouz in my 30s, The Minutemen, Melville, meeting up with the Lords of HOwling and learning not to try to sound like anything, Rohmer and Kurosawa and Altman, Atahualpa Yupanqui and Elvis Costello, Robin Hitchcock and Johnny Guitar Watson, Zorn and Ornette! and Sweeney's Men, Ezra Pound, and Wordsworth and Yeats, Homer and Apollonius, WG Sebald, The Pixies, Hume and Kierkegaard, Mary Midgley, and Theater Oobleck, Sxip Shirey, John Pilson, Spiros and Brendan McKay, Chagall and Remedios Varo, ajvar, kalamata olives, persian limes, sourdough, Bob Dylan (whynot), Public Enemy, more more more
Chris is a Chicago-based songwriter and composer, member of the Theater Oobleck Artistic Ensemble, and of the New-Mexico based Discobolus label and collective.
Since 1998 Chris has been playing and composing theatrical music in Chicago, most recently including Theater Oobleck's Natural History (2005, 2006), Spukt, and The Strangerer (2007, 2008).
Heraclitus (2005) is Chris's second Discobolus release, following This Vegetable Universe from 2002 (now out-of-print). Heraclitus includes some of the songs from that release, re-recorded in new session in Questa in July 2005, produced by Dave Costanza of Art of Flying, mixed with atmospheric samples and four never-before-heard songs.
