The electronic and electroacoustic musics of Michael Chocholak. Soundscapes; abstract, visceral and imagick. Structured improvisations, surreal architectures, alternate mythologies. Music for the imagination as well as the ears. A fair amount of it probably qualifies for what Laurie Anderson termed 'the Difficult Listening Hour', but of all that I've written, this is the music I feel closest to. Most of the tracks here are listed as 'experimental', but I believe Edgard Varese said it best; "I do not write experimental music. My experimenting is done before I write the music. Afterward it is the listener who must experiment."
Band/artist history
I have issued over 25 independent releases including collaborations with cyberpunk writer and rocker John Shirley, German electronic music pioneer Conrad Schnitzler, Canadian text/sound composer and performer Richard Truhlar, Australian sound artist Rik Rue, the Schreck electroacoustic Ensemble, poets David Memmott and Mel Buffington, the garage band Leather Smile, and my wife, Misha Nogha. My music has been released in all recorded and broadcast formats, and I have composed for film, video, graphics, dance, theatre, literature, poetry, as well as studio and live performance. It all started with piano when I was four - which my folks sold when I absolutely refused to take 'lessons'. And a 7 string guitar... check out the .
