Christopher Willits is a musician and multimedia artist located in San Francisco. Striking a delicate balance between acoustic and electronic sounds and systems, Christopher manages to defy genre distinctions while still defining a "sound" unto his own. His numerous solo releases and collaborations cover a broad spectrum of musical styles, and include one main commonality: Willits' unique use of the guitar with custom-made signal processing. This home-brewed software, along with Willits' 6-string prowess, generates a unique real-time mixture of improvised melody and rhythm. Willits' guitar lines and harmonies fold into each other. Notes and phrases hook and weave, creating complex patterns of interlocking rhythm, melody, and texture. Willits' has a vast range of collaborations he is involved in, with artists such as Kid 606, Matmos, Taylor Deupree, Scott Pagano, and many more. http://www.poultryproduct.info/
