Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
"Son of Buzzi’s music sings with a focused clarity even as the world around him disintegrates into a sonic mirage.“
Brad Rose, Foxy Digitalis
"This is the solo project of Zurich based guitarist Sebastian Bischoff, who plays in the American Primitive tradition, with slow, largely unadorned string choices and a steady grasp on bendable forms of beauty.“
Byron Coley, The WIRE
Centripetal Force (North America), Cardinal Fuzz (UK), and Ramble Records (Australia) are excited to announce the vinyl edition of Son of Buzzi's Die Hand Der Riesin. Previously available digitally and on cassette, this edition of the album is being presented in a 300 copy vinyl pressing and made available on April 7th.
Son of Buzzi is the moniker of Sebastian Bischoff, a self-taught acoustic guitar player now based in Zurich, Switzerland. He has been performing as Son of Buzzi since 2019 and has released several albums on his own tape-label, as well as on labels from Belgium (Dadaist Tapes) and the USA (fire is free). Also, he was featured on the critically acclaimed compilation Imaginational Anthem X on Tompkins Square Records. His main instrument is the acoustic guitar, sometimes accompanied by field recordings, synthesizers, no-input-mixer, or any sound making device that can fit the mood.
Die Hand Der Riesin was recorded in a living-room in Zurich, Switzerland during December of 2021 and January of 2022. It contains seven pieces for acoustic 6-string and 12 string guitar, electric guitar, upright bass, and a no-input-mixer. Parts of the album were composed in advance, while other sections were largely improvised. It was recorded live to 4-track with no overdubs. Mixing, mastering, and production was done by Michael Potter (The Electric Nature).
