Eclectic pianist-composer Erik Griswold embraces experimental, jazz and pop traditions, multi-media and cross-cultural collaborations to create works of striking originality.
Often employing prepared and toy pianos, he performs as a soloist, with his ensembles Clocked Out Duo and bluepoles quartet, and with En Rusk quintet and the Intergalactic Contemporary Ensemble. He has composed a substantial body of chamber music for a variety of instruments, but especially for percussion and piano. His percussion compositions have been performed widely by Red Fish Blue Fish, Tambuco, Defying Gravity, Schlagwerkensemble Derndorfer, Los Angeles Percussion Collective, Steven Schick, Vanessa Tomlinson and many other ensembles and soloists.
Since the early 90s he has pursued an increasingly active interest in collaborative works involving innovative combinations of sound sculpture, music, text and installation. In Permanent Transit, for example, Griswold, artist Sarah Pirrie and writer Craig Foltz use sculpture, video projection, improvisation and spoken word performance to explore the theme “community in transit.” In addition he has collaborated with Chinese composer Zou Xiangping and choreographer Zhang Ping to create the concert-length Sichuan Fantasy, exploring points of contact between Chinese traditional and street music and Western experimental music.
