Nationality: | American, Swiss |
Profession: | Artist, Composer |
Christian Ernest Marclay was born in San Rafael, California. He is an American-Swiss visual artist and composer. Marclay's work explores connections between sound, noise, photography, video, and film. His own use of turntables and records, beginning in the late 1970s, was developed independently of but roughly parallel to hip hop's use of the instrument. Marclay has performed and recorded both solo and in collaboration with many musicians, including John Zorn, William Hooker, Elliott Sharp, Otomo Yoshihide, Butch Morris, Shelley Hirsch, Flo Kaufmann and Crevice; he has also performed with the group Sonic Youth, and in other projects with Sonic Youth's members.
