ABOUT

JHEREK BISCHOFF is an American composer, songwriter, arranger, producer, and multi-instrumentalist based in Los Angeles. His credits include over a dozen albums as a solo artist or band member (The Dead Science, Parenthetical Girls, Xiu Xiu), over sixty albums as a songwriter, producer, arranger, musician, or engineer (Andra Day, Regina Spektor, Angel Olsen), and music for film, symphony orchestra, opera, theater, and ballet (Exhibiting Forgiveness, The Ocean at the End of the Lane, Organ Trail).

Bischoff began his musical career as a member of alt-rock and experimental bands and taught himself to record, produce, arrange, and orchestrate. In 2012, he ventured out as a composer and solo artist, and with the release of two critically-acclaimed albums -- the orchestral-pop Composed and the ambient-instrumental Cistern -- Bischoff was hailed a "polymath" (The New York Times), a "visionary" (SPIN), a "formidable force in orchestral music" (NPR), and quickly became an in-demand composer and collaborator.

With a deep love of classic Hollywood movie soundtracks, Bischoff's progression as a composer for stage and screen comes naturally. Since his first musical score in 2014 (Johnny Breitwieser for Schauspielhaus Vienna), he has scored another six theater productions, including the National Theatre award-winning The Ocean at the End of the Lane, and the Staatstheater Hanover award-winning Kasimir und Karoline. Most recently, Bischoff has pivoted to film and television, with credits including Exhibiting Forgiveness, Small Town Universe, and Organ Trail.

Bischoff's prolific career includes collaborations with William Shatner, Neil Gaiman, David Byrne, and Kronos Quartet; commissions by The Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, The Royal Conservatory, and St Ann's Warehouse; performances by the National Symphony Orchestra, BBC Orchestra, s t a r g a z e, and yMusic, and performances at Carnegie Hall, Royal Albert Hall, Glastonbury Festival, and in Times Square.
