Zurich's Sebastian Bischoff is Son of Buzzi, a self-taught finger style guitar player
whose unique manner of playing is compounded on his new record by the world of
producer Michael Potter. Previous outings on Cardinal Fuzz, Stoned to Death and
Dadaist are comprised of his instrumental guitar pieces sometimes coupled with
synthesizers or no-input mixer to create otherworldly ambience and noise. Bischoff's
compositions capture the resonance of the instruments used and importantly, that of the
environment he records in, be it a kitchen, an abandoned balcony or in the case of this
record, a hut.

Son of Buzzi's latest album, Ein Hase, ein Phönix, ein Schwan was recorded on guitar in
December of 2024 inside a hut in the Ticino Mountains in Switzerland alone over a long
weekend. The electronic accompaniments were recorded in Zurich and arranged
together with Michael Potter (The Electric Nature). The title cut evolved over a series of
Bischoff's tour of USA, and defines the marriage of the impressionistic with the concrete
on this gorgeous album of alchemy and transformation that engulfs the senses as the
slow reveal of these unique pieces unfold. Son of Buzzi will be playing festival and solo dates across Europe in support of the record throughout the summer and into fall.

"Bischoff bends the ruls of American Primitive guitar playing, bringing them into the future without destroying their rootwork" -Byron Coley, Wire Magazine

"Partly improvisation and partly written pieces, Buzzi's sound lives on an honesty all its own. Never technical or condescending, often exciting, warm, as if we were in a room with him holdig our breath between each decayed note, anticipating the next note. Beautiful." -The New Noise
