Son Of Buzzi

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 his no-input mixer to create other worldy 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 rules 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
