Institute For Creative Dying

Biography
​Institute For Creative Dying is the solo endeavor of Portland-based guitarist/composer Paul Michael Schaefer (Dead Death; Yardsss ∅ ∀ ‡; Abronia; Waver Clamor Bellow). His transportive audio-environments merge experimental guitar, bowed guitar, hammered dulcimer, percussion, and electronics.
​

Paul recorded Siphonophore in Little Debee’s bedroom while sheltering in place awaiting the birth of their daughter. This collection of guitar lullabies diverges from the characteristic audio-environments of Institute for Creative Dying. These emergent melodies shimmer with a kind of bioluminescence suspended within the cold depths of a watery void—a nightlight.
