Born 1956, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

In solo performance or mixed media collaborations, Erich Kory presents the cello as a fused electro-acoustic experience. His associations with musicians from Bernstein to Sting have inspired him to develop an imaginative and personal style. Supporting his style is extensive classical training and over 40 years of professional performance experience. Erich Kory plays on an asymmetric, acoustic cello designed and built for him in 1986 by Christophe Landon, implemented by several electronic effects.
