27–28 June 2018
Pleased to welcome US guitarist and composer, Michael Pisaro to OTO for a special two-day residency presenting an intimate portrait of his work and collaborations. Moving from solos (with environmental recordings) through his partnership with Graham Lambkin to chamber works with close collaborators Angharad Davies, Sarah Hughes and Tisha Mukarji (where each of the pieces grows out of considerations of friendship and innocence). Pisaro’s work continues to reflect on the sense of rebirth that accompanied his initial contact with the Wandelweiser group, and often requires a worldly and other-worldly reorientation of the senses.
Michael Pisaro-Liu (born, Michael Pisaro, 1961 in Buffalo, New York) is a guitarist and composer and a long-time member of the Wandelweiser collective. While, like other members of Wandelweiser, Pisaro-Liu is known for pieces of long duration with periods of silence, in the past fifteen years his work has branched out in many directions, including work with field recording, electronics, improvisation and ensembles of very different kinds of instrumental constitution.
