Biography

edit

Emerging from the city'simprovised music scene, in the1990s he became one of the world's pre-eminentprepared guitar players. Since then his work has expanded to includeelectroacoustic compositions and live electronic music made withlaptop computers and analogmodular synthesizers. His early recordings contain mostly sparse, quiet sounds; recent works have been more loud and dense.

Drumm has collaborated with many artists working in similar fields, including Japanese guitaristTaku Sugimoto, multi-instrumentalist and producerJim O'Rourke, and many European improvisers such as Swedish saxophonistMats Gustafsson and German trumpeter Axel Dörner. He has also worked with the artist groupSimparch, composing a piece for their installationSpec, shown atDocumenta XI in Kassel, Germany and at the Renaissance Society in Chicago. Drumm has also worked with saxophonistKen Vandermark's Territory Band, which brings together American and European players who work in both jazz andfree improvisation. Drumm has received a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Grants to Artists award (2011).^[1]
