About Isaiah Collier:
Isaiah Collier is a Chicago/Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalist, composer, activist, and educator.
"Isaiah Coller’s sound is a dynamic flurry of metaphors, yet he can
hold back when necessary. He plays his influences, which he describes
as a “sonic time machine; you can’t really put a time or destination on
it.”
As far as where he plans to take his music, Collier says: “I
reach backwards, and forwards simultaneously when creating art and what
is ahead of me is the past.... After your solo, you think you’re done but the music is still going. Bringing the little instruments in, you are always participating, bringing in the micro aspect, shifting the atomic matter. With tempered bells you can capture intervals that can set things up in another key. When I go to the saxophone now — when you’ve got to a mastery of an instrument — you try figure out something else or it whispers, “Boring!” Now I’m no longer hearing “saxophone” on the saxophone. I think, “Man, how does this sound as a talking drum or a flute?”
