Bill Orcutt is an innovative guitarist and experimental musician who explores several different techniques, both solo and in collaborative formations. Initially known for co-founding Miami noise rockers Harry Pussy during the early '90s, guitarist Orcutt re-emerged in 2009, releasing a critically acclaimed series of albums offering a singular take on blues-based guitar improvisation. From that point on, he prolifically produced both excellently feral solo records like 2011's How the Thing Sings and collaborative recordings with like-minded improvisers such as drummer Chris Corsano and cellist Okkyung Lee. He has also created electronic works with a self-published audio coding program called Cracked, including 2021's A Mechanical Joey. Music for Four Guitars, an album of brief, structured solo pieces, appeared in 2022, and the 2025 release HausLive 4 comprised semi-improvisatory performances of the same material with three other guitarists.
