Sir Richard Bishop – 吉他 Guitar
Richard Bishop 1960 年出生于美国密歇根州萨吉诺市。他最为人所知的是在乐队 Sun City Girls 中长达 26 年的参与经历。作为一名实验性独奏吉他手，他的作品常常能带你穿越印度、中东、北非等一个又一个吉普赛迁徙路线上的幽秘之境。
1979 年，Richard 和他的哥哥 Alan 离开密歇根，定居在亚利桑那州的凤凰城。1981 年，兄弟俩与鼓手 Charles Gocher 合作，组建了长期活跃的实验性的地下乐队 Sun City Girls。从 1981 年到 2007 年，这支乐队创作了丰富的音乐作品，包括 50 多张全长专辑、20 盒时长 1 小时的磁带和十几张 7 英寸唱片。此外，在 1980 年代初，Richard 还是 Paris 1942 的成员，该乐队的其它成员包括 Alan Bishop、J. Akkari（Jesse Srogoncik）和前地下丝绒鼓手 Moe Tucker。
Richard 的首张个人专辑 Salvador Kali 于 1998 年由 John Fahey 备受推崇的 Revenant Records 厂牌发行。这张唱片以“理查德·毕晓普爵士（Sir Richard Bishop）”的名义发行（这个名字沿用至今），体现了他独特的个人取向和丰富的文化根源，将汲取自世界不同地域的音乐灵感注入到创作之中。他的第二张专辑 Improvika 由Locust Music 厂牌于 2004 年发行，收录了九首原声吉他即兴独奏作品。接下来在 2006 年发行的 Fingering the Devil，则是他在 2005 年欧洲巡演期间抽出一天时间于伦敦 Southern Studios 完成的纯即兴录制。随后，他又在 Locust Music 发行了两张专辑： Elektronika Demonika（2006），一张电子声音实验作品，完全没有使用吉他；While My Guitar Violently Bleeds（2007），里面收录三首为原声吉他和电吉他创作的实验性作品。
2005 年，他开始以全职独奏艺术家的身份进行演出，足迹遍布欧洲和美国。
2007 年以来，Richard 在 Drag City 厂牌陆续发行了数张专辑：2007 年的 Polytheistic Fragments，其中收录了原声吉他、电吉他和膝上钢棒吉他作品以及两首钢琴曲；2009 年的 The Freak of Araby，这张专辑是他对已故埃及吉他手 Omar Khorshid 的致敬，同时也是对中东音乐的礼赞——童年时祖父常常播放给他听；2015 年的 Tangier Sessions，收录了他 2014 年在摩洛哥丹吉尔录制的一系列即兴作品，使用的是一把来源神秘的 19 世纪客厅吉他（parlor guitar）；还有 2020 年的 Oneiric Formulary。
此外，他以 Sir Richard Bishop名义创作的其他专辑还在 Unrock、Ideologic Organ、Southern Lord、VDSQ 等多个厂牌发行。
2010年，Richard 与 Six Organs of Admittance 乐队的吉他手 Ben Chasny ，以及杰出的鼓手 Chris Corsano 合作，组建了乐队 Rangda，并在 Drag City 发行了三张全长专辑，并有其它黑胶唱片在 Unrock 和 Ba Da Bing! Records 厂牌发行。
Richard Bishop was born in Saginaw, Michigan in 1960. He is best known for his 26-year involvement with the band Sun City Girls and as an experimental solo guitarist whose work often reflects the shadow worlds of India, the Middle East, North Africa, and other points along the Gypsy trail.
Richard, along with his brother Alan, left Michigan in 1979 and settled in Phoenix, AZ. In 1981 the brothers joined up with drummer Charles Gocher and formed the long-running experimental underground group Sun City Girls, who, from 1981-2007, produced an extensive discography of over 50 full length albums, 20 one-hour cassettes and a dozen 7” records. Also in the early 1980s Richard was a member of the group Paris 1942 which included Alan Bishop, J. Akkari (Jesse Srogoncik) and former Velvet Underground drummer Moe Tucker.
Bishop’s first solo record, Salvador Kali, was released by John Fahey’s esteemed Revenant Records label in 1998. It was issued under the name of Sir Richard Bishop (the name stuck). The album showcases Bishop's own particular obsessions and roots, drawing from a variety of worldwide sources. Locust Music issued his second record, Improvika (2004), which consisted of nine extemporaneous pieces for solo acoustic guitar. Up next was Fingering the Devil (2006), which was recorded at an impromptu session at London’s Southern Studios on a day off during Bishop's 2005 European tour. This was followed by two more releases from Locust: Elektronika Demonika (2006), a recording of electronic sound experiments, containing no guitar at all; and While My Guitar Violently Bleeds (2007), featuring three extended compositions for acoustic and electric guitar.
In 2005, Bishop began performing full time as a solo artist, playing throughout Europe and the United States.
Bishop's next album, Polytheistic Fragments, was released by the Drag City label in 2007. It includes works for acoustic, electric and lapsteel guitar, plus two piano compositions. In 2009, Drag City issued The Freak of Araby which was Bishop's tribute to late Egyptian guitarist Omar Khorshid as well as a celebration of the Middle Eastern music that Bishop's grandfather often played for him as a young child. Tangier Sessions, was released in 2015 by Drag City. It consists of a series of improvisations recorded in Tangier, Morocco in 2014 using a 19th century parlor guitar of mysterious origin. 2020 saw the release of Oneiric Formulary, also from Drag City.
Additional SRB albums have been released by Unrock; Ideologic Organ; Southern Lord; VDSQ, and other labels.
In 2010, Bishop joined forces with fellow guitarist Ben Chasny (Six Organs of Admittance) and drummer extraordinaire Chris Corsano to create the group Rangda. Three full length Rangda releases have been issued by Drag City with additional LPs on Unrock and Ba Da Bing! Records.
