Very pleased to be able to announce this at long last. This fall, I’ll be doing a passel of new songs inspired by my 8,980 mile post-election train trip as part of the 2017 BAM Next Wave Festival. More info here.

#aynrand #fountainhead - 4 hours long, but what a stunning innovation in stage play and design. This Dutch import is the future of onstage performance and orchestration. Stayed true to the book, but challenges you to infer context for current times #bamnextwave @bamnextwave (at BAM Rose Cinemas)

Following two sold-out runs at the National Theatre in London, a successful run at London’s Roundhouse, and a world tour, Nigerian-born playwright Inua Ellams’ acclaimed Barber Shop Chronicles (@barbershopchroniclesplay) makes its New York and @BAM_Brooklyn debut December 3—8. The sold-out sensation explores the diversity of Black male identity via the intimate community of the barbershop, where men across the African diaspora have gathered for generations to discuss the world and their lives. Filled with passion, humor, and honesty, the celebrated work is inspired by Ellams’ own experiences as an immigrant.

One week from today, Black Mountain Songs opens at BAM. Composer Jherek Bischoff is among the eight composers for the groundbreaking work. We spoke with him about his composing process and Black Mountain Songs. 

-What’s your composing method? Sitting at a piano, computer, pencil/paper, improv with other musicians, etc.? I like to just kind of get into a head space and think about what energy I would like the music to have. Then I pick up an instrument, usually a bass, guitar, ukulele, cello or violin and work out the chord changes and melody. I then get over to the computer and fill in the rest of the harmony etc. Normally, I don't touch an instrument as soon as I move to the computer as I find that I have spent so much time on instruments, that my fingers like to do certain things. When I rely just on my ear instead of my muscle memory, I write much more interesting harmonies. -How do you see the relationship between topic (Black Mountain Songs) and instruments (children’s chorus)? Funnily enough, the lyrics for my piece kind of reminded me of these places and my emotions going to school camp. A lot of beauty, but also being kind of scared and nervous. Maybe it was just because I knew it would be sung by the chorus and that Black Mountain was also a school, but that was what was really going through my head. So I thought it made sense to follow these feelings and not get too dark with the music, but to have a kind of youthful energy and kind of float along.

-Do you think about the listener when you’re composing? Yes and no. I feel that I first write just for myself. Then I usually consider the audience as far as how long sections should go etc. In the case of a show like Black Mountain Songs, I guess I also like to be a collaborator with the show itself and try to present something that will simultaneously fit in with the other pieces, but have a different vibe for the show overall.

What sound do you love most? The ocean.

How do you relax? The ocean.

What's your biggest pet peeve? Pet peeve's.
