The Sound of the Stylus
Past, Current, Future Projects
----------------------------------
Dru Stylus/andrew
bisset, a cutting edge artist
with an ear-blistering sound, fuses
Stockhausenian
sonorities with Grand Master Flash breaks into a catastrophic sonic
journey with a hint of Attention Deficit Disorder. His output never
failing to push the
envelope, his voice never settling into a fixed dialect, he is the
Rubric's Cube of his art.
While currently
working on producing IDM (Intelligent Dance Music), Drum & Bass and
experimental electronic tracks, he has also written a number of
successful acoustic works.
The newest of his instrumental and
vocal works, Reciprocity,
was written for
three low
female voices and just received its premiere at the Forsyth Chapel in
Jamaica Plain, MA.
The concert was put on
by the Socially Awkward Composers, a Boston-based group of
diversely voiced composers which he is a part of. Reciprocity, like many
of his other
experimental acoustic
works, is highly influenced by the sounds and formalisms of Iannis
Xenakis and Morton Feldman. The work serves as a continuation of his efforts to
abolish
such antiquated compositional techniques as melodic development
and harmonic
progression in favor of generating soundscapes
that represent, for him, conceptual themes
of existence, duality, and technology.
animation project that documents “cut & paste” culture within visual domains. The Barong
Remix itself is built around a variety of samples that have been "cut up" and "pasted" back
together in a whole different sequence, making it the perfect soundtrack for this project.
Additionally, he has been working on a new Drum & Bass track entitled FTPQ
which uses the famous line uttered by Sean Connery in "The Rock".
