Zurich’s Sebastian Bischoff is Son of Buzzi, a self taught finger style guitar player whose unique manner of playing is compounded on his new record by the world of producer Michael Potter. Previous outings on Cardinal Fuzz, Stoned to Death and Dadaist are comprised of his instrumental guitar pieces sometimes coupled with synthesizers or his no-input mixer to create other worldly ambience and noise. Bischoff’s compositions capture the resonance of the instruments used and importantly, that of the environment he records in, be it a kitchen, an abandoned balcony or in the case of this record, a hut.
Son of Buzzi’s latest album, Ein Hase, ein Phönix, ein Schwan was recorded on guitar in December of 2024 inside a hut in the Ticino Mountains in Switzerland alone over a long weekend. The electronic accompaniments were recorded in Zurich and arranged together with Michael Potter (The Electric Nature). The title cut evolved over a series of Bischoff’s tour of USA, and defines the marriage of the impressionistic with the concrete on this gorgeous album of alchemy and transformation that engulfs the senses as the slow reveal of these unique pieces unfold.
The limited edition CD is out May 16th and is available to preorder here and here.
