Michael J. Schumacher

Michael J. Schumacher is a composer of electronic and instrumental works utilizing spatial acoustics. In 1996, with photographer Ursula Scherrer, he founded Studio 5 Beekman, a gallery which was unusual in its ability to present multi-channel sound-installations. After the closing of 5 Beekman in 2000, he co-founded Diapason, a dedicated sound-art gallery which continues to present work by artists each month. Schumacher's compositions have been characterized by an intense exploration of multi-channel presentation and minimal structures, influenced by Morton Feldman, Phill Niblock, James Tenney and La Monte Young. His work with perception and timbral relationships is exceptionally forward-thinking in his generation.

Entr'acte
Limited edition of 200 copies. beet5 takes Beethoven’s Fifth Piano Concerto as its starting point. The slow movement was recorded using a special turntable for the blind that plays back records at quarter speed. I had an old recording of the piece lying around; I forget who the pianist was. The slowed down version was very striking, recognisable as Beethoven’s music but much sadder, more fragile. I developed a piece around this, using my usual array of synthesized sounds, field recordings, ‘borr…

Like their music it is about hearing sounds in themselves, about allowing the ear to register sonorities and then the hearing imagination may go to work, navigating amongst temporal realities and imaginary spaces, negotiating between a sense of control and perceived …
