CHRISTOPHER WILLITS
"Christopher Willits creates patterns of vibrations with sound and light. He occupies a unique corner of the electronic-art-music universehovering above the intersection of electronic production's nuts and bolts, new media art, and a wide-open creative mind. "I am a conduit of the process, a kind of gardener," he says. "I simply imagine, intuit, respond and do the work laid before me." Willits' tireless responding and doing and working has produced 20 albums in 10 yearssolo and in collaboration with artists including Ryuichi Sakamoto, Matmos, Zach Hill, and Taylor Deupreeand an organic, multi-faceted sound that expands like the vines of an electro-acoustic kudzu plant. Christopher Willits is a teacher, a label owner (the experimental hub Overlap.org), a meditator, a tech geek, a visual/new media artist, and virtuosic musician in one. In other words, there's no one out there quite like him." http://overlap.org/
