Editorial Reviews
Composed is unlike any "orchestral" record you've heard before. DIY in the purest sense, Jherek first composed the album on a ukulele. Next he produced, engineered, and mastered the album, resolving to achieve an orchestral sound without the orchestral cost by recording the music one instrument at a time using just one mic and a laptop. (He spent one summer in his native Seattle, biking around town his gear in a backpack, cruising between various musician's houses, capturing their performance one track at a time.)

Amazing album. Pristine, complicated, lovely orchestral arrangements, very powerful, with some great vocal sit-ins on top. Quite unique and wonderful.

I really enjoy this cd! The 4th track feat. Mirah is addictive her voice is so amazing and you can feel the music wrap her up inside it as with most tracks on this cd. Wonderful job Mr Bishcoff!!!!!!!

I really enjoy this album and highly recommend it to others. I bought it after seeing an awesome performance with David Byrne on Youtube and listened the whole deal during a chilly walk through our local zoo. Ever since then it gets a listen every couple days or so.

Excellent.
Every song is perfect, I honestly can't say anything negative about it. As I grow older, I've found that I listen to less and less new music, but I'm glad I found this.

Gorgeous Album!
I have seen Jherek Bischoff twice at Grand Theft Orchestra concerts and always enjoyed his opening solos, so I decided to check out his album. Read more
