   About Isaac Schankler

Hi! I am a composer/pianist/accordionist/electronic musician. I like to take lush, intricate harmonies/textures and filter them through a variety of vernacular forms, including new wave synthpop, klezmer and Balkan folk music, Weillian cabaret, experimental jazz, and minimalism. I'm also really inspired by the Oulipo literary movement (Italo Calvino, Georges Perec, Raymond Queneau, etc.) and take more than a few cues from their mathematical precision, sense of humor, and labyrinthian cleverness.

For more info, including the obligatory third-person bio, please visit isaacschankler.com.

Some of my current activities:
Prisoner of Vampires (synthpop on Sleepy Mammal Sound label)
The Shpil (cosmopolitan klezmer quartet)
Paula Kelley Orchestra (indie pop extravaganza)

Thanks, Isaac. As far as playing in the states, we probably will at some point, but no plans for that in the immediate future. Glad you dig the sounds!

I just read Rick's comments from a million years ago, what a freak! Anyway, Isick, is a fab bowler and a good vegetarian, except when there is free McDonalds to be had at house parties.

Isaac and I don't talk a lot anymore. Probably the 10 hour or so time difference. But I still consider him a good friend and care about him a lot.

it's true, he doesn't smell "funny". Then again, it's not like myspace even has a "smells like" category.
