Информация об исполнителе
Roger Kleier is a composer, guitarist, and improviser who began playing electric guitar at age thirteen after discovering Captain Beefheart and Jimi Hendrix on the radio airwaves of Los Angeles. He studied composition at North Texas State University and the University of Southern California, and has developed a unique style that draws equally from improvisation, contemporary classical music, and the American guitar traditions of blues, jazz, and rock. Much of his compositional work involves the development of a broader vocabulary for the electric guitar through the use of extended techniques and digital sound manipulation. He has also composed new works for soloists and chamber groups.
Roger has collaborated with Annie Gosfield, Carl Stone, Marc Ribot, Elliott Sharp, Fred Frith, Chris Cutler, Joan Jeanrenaud, David Moss, Chris Cochrane, Phill Niblock, John Zorn, Ikue Mori, David Krakauer, Stan Ridgway, and many others. With various ensembles Roger has toured extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia. His discography includes CDs on the Tzadik, CRI, Intakt, Atavistic, Wergo, ReR Megacorp, EMF, and Geffen labels. His three solo CDs are KlangenBang, released on the Rift label, Deep Night, Deep Autumn released by the Starkland label, and "The Night Has Many Hours" on the Innova label. He has formed a quartet called El Pocho Loco dedicated to guitar instrumentals that features keyboardist Annie Gosfield, bassist Trevor Dunn, and drummer Ches Smith.
Roger describes his music:
Having grown up in Los Angeles, Ive always had a fascination with noir, and this type of dark experience can be found in a variety of settings, including urban chaos, cold and icy winters, deserted alleyways, empty subway tunnels, LA River acqueducts, and even an occasional quiet pool of sinister beauty. Roger draws from diverse musical influences that range from Sun Ra, Link Ray, Musique Concrete pioneers, and Studio One dub to capture these dark ambiances.
