Artist Biography For Sir Richard Bishop & W. David Oliphant

Sir Richard Bishop Of Sun City Girls And A Ton Of Solo Work And W. David Oliphant Of Life Garden Maybe Mental And A Ton Of Solo Work Have Been Friends Forever. In 1981 The Two Met Through Phoenix AZ’s Experimental Music Scene. Though The Two Have Worked Together Before They Have Never Collaborated Directly As A Duo. They Released Their First Collaborative Album Beyond All Defects Through Their Own ChodpaMedia Label. The Set Was Recorded Last December In Phoenix With Bishop Playing Acoustic Guitar And Oliphant Producing Sounds Through Computer Software And A MIDI Controller. Bishop’s Guitar On The Record Was Frequently Detuned Bowed And Beaten As “treated” By Oliphant. Though No Specific Plans For Future Releases Have Been Announced Because Let’s Not Get Ahead Of Ourselves Here The Album Is Meant To Be The First In A Series Of Records From The Duo. The Songs On Beyond Defects Were Inspired By The Concepts Of Tibetan Buddhism In Particular The Dzogchen Body Of Teachings. Additionally Many Of The Musical Ideas Presented On The Record Derived From Dreams The Duo Had The Night Before Recording. If This All Sounds A Little Too High-Minded For You Keep In Mind That The Impetus Behind The Collaboration Was Bishop’s Desire For “big-Ass Tibetan Horn Sounds.”
