American composer and guitarist Scott Johnson incorporates
modern instrumentation such as the electric guitar into his
works. The New York-based composer started out in Wisconsin,
where he was raised, and studied visual arts at the
University. In addition to his major, Johnson played in local
rock bands and took music theory courses during this time.
After relocating to N.Y.C. in 1975, he focused solely on
visual arts for a few years before his music interest was
re-ignited by working on a sound sculpture. Johnson has gone
on to compose works for ensembles including Kronos Quartet
("How It Happens"), and the Scott Johnson Ensemble. He has
toured Europe and North America both with his ensemble and on
solo tours. "John Somebody" is the most acclaimed of his
compositions, which have been recorded for the Point Music and
Nonesuch labels. ~ Joslyn Layne, All Music Guide
