Cistern Music CD

Cistern is the second album by prodigiously talented multi-instrumentalist and composer Jherek Bischoff. Gloriously cinematic, these modern orchestral recordings showcase Jhereks unerring ability to pull at the heartstrings. A prolific and divergent collaborator, working with the likes of David Byrne, The Kronos Quartet, Caetano Veloso, Xiu Xiu and Australian star Missy Higgins, it can be difficult to pin the real Jherek Bischoff down. Here then, is an intensely personal work. Like his previous album Composed, Cistern is a real labour of love. This is a record intrinsically linked to the space in which it was conceived, born from time spent improvising in an empty two million gallon underground water tank. A space which forced Bischoff to slow down, to reflect, to draw on his childhood growing up on a sailing boat - an unexpected journey of rediscovery, from the city back to the Pacific Ocean via the Cistern.
