  • Bio

    Si Schroeder is a six-foot hairy male who makes 'music'. This 'music' has generally sounded like the combined contents of his record collection (mostly classic sixties pop, scratchy old ethnic recordings and the odd bleep or two), on top of which he layers ruminative, whispered vocals about the tough times we all live in and go through. His adventures have lately brought him into the arms of Dublin tastemakers Foggy Notions (***** Best Album of 2006 for his debut COPING MECHANISMS); nomination for the 2nd Choice Music Awards (the Irish Mercurys); and National radio and TV appearances. An argumentative sophomore album is currently in the works. His current live shows attempt to find a bridge between live electronics, guitars, drums, percussion, and the combined singing of men, women, children and machines. In various guises Si Schroeder has blown the PA systems of Dublin, London's influential Kosmische club, PopKomm Berlin, EUROSONIC in Groningen, Oslo, New York's IntelFest, and Chicago. Expect toy pianos and toy planes, bleeps and beats (and bleats...) bells and chimes, drones and choirs... You can buy 'COPING MECHANISMS' from Boomkat ..http://www. boomkat. com/item. cfm?id=52651.. or eMusic ..http://www. emusic. com/album/Si-Schroeder-Coping-Mechanisms-MP3-Download/11064633. html.. or from iTunes by following the link across the way under 'sounds like'... ....................real..editor....best profile tools..............<a href="http://www.realeditor.com/?
