Ross Birdwise

Ross Birdwise is a Vancouver-based musician and visual artist. Much of his recent electronic music, whether beatless noise, or some sort of beat driven experimental music or free improvisation, is concerned with the deliberate manipulation of the listener’s sense of time and space and is concerned with disrupting or dequantizing the quantized grid that underlies much electronic music to attempt to create musical space-times that are alternately fluid, lurching, malfunctioning, awkward, violent or organic. Much of his video work has been similarly concerned with addressing issues around space and time, and time-based media itself, attempting to explore time and space in a philosophical but also visceral way.
Ross is also free improvising vocalist who deploys extended techniques, electronic manipulations, and throat-singing in his work.
