Oort Bzorg, a vietnam veteran, began experimenting with sounds in the late 1980's, with an assortment of plastic buckets, performing in Harvard Square, for loose change. He has lost everything but his spirit to make beautiful music on a budget.While performing one fateful Friday afternoon, he was discovered by a producer, who shall remain nameless, and drifts from the streets, to the producer's living room couch. With the short amount of money Oort has been saving, the producer has offered to allow him to use his equipment for additional editing and added quality.He has been on the run for several years, due to a controversial record he recorded. After months of searching, many followers figured him for dead. To their surprise, he has emerged from the shadows, and is ready to share his tales with the world.His debut CD can be ordered for $5 on CDbaby.com
He is currently working on his follow-up sophmore album. Stay tuned.Why this name?
I was born with it.Do you play live?
In the streets of Boston, whenever i need money (all the time, 24/7)Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Of course, but would they want me?Band History:
I went to 'Nam, got shot in the stomach (not a life-threatening wound), and after getting my Purple Heart, i was kicked out of my house by my old lady, and ever since, i've been trying to make a living with the only true skill i have.Your influences?
anything from Beethoven, to Hendrix, to even Lil' Jon. I hear his music all over the city.Favorite spot?
my friend's studio apartment, where i crash during the Winter, and whenever he'll allow me in.Equipment used:
Anything i can find...old Zenith televisions, outdated mixing boards i find in the garbage, a busted microcasette, trash cans, plastic buckets, broken keyboards, an MPC60, Sonar and my friend's studio.
