Brown Paper Tickets
Local composer, musician and producer Jherek Bischoff has, for the last several years,
built a staggeringly prolific reputation both nationally and internationally
as one of Seattle's most indispensable and talented musical
artists. He has been a full-time member of The Dead Science since it's inception,
served a long tenure as bassist and composer for local experimental musician
talent
factory Degenerate Art Ensemble, toured in Xiu Xiu and Carla
Bozulich's Evangelista, and consistently worked as a player, producer and arranger
for
Jason Webley, Parenthetical Girls, and Casiotone for the Painfully Alone. His
efforts have led to many unique and wildly varied opportunities in his musical life,
including numerous grants and residencies, composing for a 45
piece ensemble as part of the Degenerate Art Orchestra concert at the Moore
Theater, opening for the Foo Fighters in Hollywood, composing epic video game
music,
and embarking on countless tours across North America, Europe, and
Australia. After years of aiding and abetting so many experimental music
luminaries, Jherek has recently shifted greater focus towards his own music, with
tours and releases both under his own name (the moody instrumental split album with
local songwriter Richard Webb, Under the Sour Trees) and his solo moniker
Ribbons (the European-only Royals album).
As part of this new wave of Bischoff solo output, Jherek will, for his 30th birthday, be
presenting a concert of his compositions—both works from last year's records and
several from his next project, a fully orchestral record (more on that later). Appropriate
to Bischoff's mammoth creative ambitions, he is self-producing the concert
at Seattle's venerable Town Hall—complete with 40 piece orchestra, and
arrangements ranging from standard orchestral works to pieces employing 30
glockenspiels and Mexican folk instruments. The concert will serve as a preview of
sorts to Jherek's next solo record: a massively ambitious, years-in-the-making album
of meticulously arranged and multi-tracked orchestral music. Featuring a host of
Seattle's greatest musicians (as well as avant ringers like Deerhoof's Greg
Saunier and violinist Carla Kihlstedt, the record spotlights different guest vocalists on
each track—a staggering lineup that including the likes of David Byrne, Mirah,
Carla Bozulich, Craig Wedren, and many others. The Town Hall concert will feature
many of the musicians who have contributed to the record, as well as some of the
vocalists flying in from out of town to perform and celebrate the life and work of
this prodigious young man. It will truly be a night to remember.
