Jherek Bischoff
Cistern
'Cistern' is the second album by prodigiously talented musician, collaborator, composer, arranger and producer Jherek Bischoff. Gloriously cinematic, these modern orchestral recordings showcase Jherek's unerring ability to pull at the heartstrings. Intrinsically linked to the space in which it was conceived, 'Cistern' was born from time spent improvising in an empty two million gallon underground water tank in Washington state. A space which forced Bischoff to slow down, to reflect, to draw on his childhood growing up on a sailing boat an emotional journey from the city back to the Pacific Ocean, via the Cistern. The album itself was recorded with a live orchestra, the New York-based Contemporaneous ensemble, in a converted 19th century church in Hudson, NY.'Cistern' follows on the heels of 'Strung Out In Heaven', a moving string quartet tribute to David Bowie, created with Amanda Palmer and featuring the significant talents of Anna Calvi and Neil Gaiman. LP - Limited edition deluxe vinyl, including a printed inner sleeve and a CD of the full album.
