Gary Rouzer, objects, tapes, field recordings, cello

ŒMy musical collages often contain the sounds of domestic and city life. I
have used traffic, washing dishes, transformer hum, zippers, a can opener,
couch springs, cicadas, keyboard typing, a coffee machine, rain, distant
conversation, and furnace noises to name a few. My amplified objects are
everyday items, such as egg slicers, combs, paint brushes, cardboard, and
wooden boxes with contact mics attached. The only functions I use on the
computer are simple cut and paste editing, never effects or plug-ins.
Ex fan club. About a year ago I started using small cassette players in my
music. It first I was using just the sounds of the motors as amplified by a
contact mic attached to a cassette without tape. Later I started creating
tapes from recordings I had made of amplified objects and field recordings
to use in my live performances.  (Gary Rouzer, 2014)

Gary Rouzer(amplified objects, cello) was born in Washington DC and works in
the area between free improvisation and composition. He used to masquerade
as a bass player but now his Cageian preparations have taken on a life of
their own. His focus is on electro-acoustic sounds and the relation between
musician and listener within the performance space while exploring noise,
silence, texture, and abstract narrative. He is an active member of the DC
experiment music scene and has performed at Sonic Circuits, Electric
Possible, Fringe Festival, and Artomatic in addition performances in
Baltimore, NYC, Hamburg, and Berlin.
