Mike Bullock
Ph.D.

I work primarily in electro-acoustic music, improvisation, and digital video.  I have performed in an eleventh century stone chapel, a Czech monastery, and on the side of a mountain.  My electro-acoustic and video performances are concerned with a multi-layered sense of time and space and the feeling of being in two or more states at once.  My solo contrabass performances are permeated by a precarious sense of timing reminiscent of Samuel Beckett and Buster Keaton.

As a performer I've worked with Christian Wolff, Lê Quan Ninh, Otomo Yoshihide, Lionel Marchetti, and Theodore Bikel (the original Tevye).  I am a member of the BSC, a large ensemble of Massachusetts improvisers, which has collaborated with musicians and composers from all over the world, and has been ensemble-in-residence at Princeton University and Wesleyan University.  I often work as a duo with cellist Vic Rawlings, and with audio/video duorise set twilight (with Linda Aubry).

I have released recordings through Grob, Intransitive, CIMP, Emanem, Kissy, Fargone, Rounder and Naxos; my writings on music have been published in FO(A)RM and Signal to Noise.  In 2002 I founded Chloë, a label dedicated to electro-acoustic music.  Plus One Events, an experimental music series, was founded in collaboration with Aubry in 2005.
