Chris Corsano February 24, 2009

Equally at home with intense kinetic explosions of energy and concentrated near-silence, he effortlessly flows from one idea to the next, always sy mpatico with his fellow musicians.

He has recorded and gigged with, among others, Paul Flaherty, Thurston Moore, Jessica Rylan, Jim O'Rourke, Matt Heyner, Michael Flower, Nels Cline, Jandek, Greg Kelly, Daniel Carter, Six Organs of Admittance, Evan Parker, Sunburned Hand Of Man, Okkyung Lee, Wally Shoup, MV&EE, Keiji Haino, Dredd Foole, Vampire Belt, Joe McPhee, Björk, Carlos Giffoni, Akira Sakata, Christina Carter and Heather Leigh Murray.
After moving from western Massachusetts, USA to Manchester, England in 2005 and then Edinburgh, Scotland a year later, Corsano focused on developing an expanded solo percussion music of his own, incorporating sax reeds, violin strings and bows, pot lids, adhesive tape and other household devices into his drumkit. In February 2006, he released his first solo recording, The Young Cricketer, and toured the UK opening for the mighty acoustic guitarist Jack Rose. In 2007 and '08 he's been drumming on Björk's Volta world tour as well as continuing his own projects.

"Corsano is one of the best drummers of his generation" - Byron Coley, Arthur Magazine (Sept. 2002)
"Anyone who has ever seen him live already knows it, but this solo session [The Young Cricketer] slams the notion home; Chris Corsano is seriously one of the most exciting drummers on the planet." - Adam Richards, indieworkshop.com (Feb. 2006)
