| About Andrew Boscardin |
|
Andrew Boscardin has been playing guitar and writing music for 20 years. He is a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College in New York, where he studied composition and electronic music and performed in the school's Improvisation and Guitar Ensembles. Since moving to Seattle in 1997, he has played with a number of musicians and bands, most recently the avant-rock act Heavier on Jupiter and singer-songwriter Anne Morency. In addition to work on guitar, Boscardin has contributed music for dance, stage and film both as a composer and performer. His film work includes the short films "Murder", "Enlightened" and most recently, "The Marthas" and "Times Like These" for Bay Area director Rick Bosner. He is currently preparing to work on Bosner's first feature film.
Combining ambient guitar sounds, carefully woven textures and a full harmonic palette, Boscardin's guitar playing owes as much to his love of jazz as it does to his work as a composer and orchestrator. His influences are diverse and allows growing, including guitarists Robert Fripp, Bill Frisell, and Grant Green, jazz innovators John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, Kenny Wheeler, Keith Jarrett and Miles Davis, composers Igor Stravinsky, Bernard Hermann, Steve Reich and Conlon Nancarrow, bands/performers including Interpol, The Magnetic Fields, The Mars Volta, Sonic Youth, Bad Brains, Beth Gibbons, and a host of others too numerous to mention.
Boscardin can be found performing every Monday night with the guitar ensemble Tuning the Air. He has studied with Dave Peterson, Curt Golden, Hummie Mann, Glenn Alexander, and John Yannelli.
