        "location" : "Kannami, Japan",
        "bio" : "For a total of over 30 years, Christopher Currell has composed, performed and synthesized a broad range of music, including classical, jazz, rock, avant-garde and pop. Christopher has worked on a wide variety of projects from film scores to pop albums to video games to theme parks. Christopher is pioneering in the field of guitar synthesis. Some of the exceptional musicians Christopher has had the privilege of working with include Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, Paul Simon, Meatloaf, Luther Vandross, Denny Seiwell, Jennifer Batten, Sheryl Crow, Jimmy Smith, Stevie Wonder, Allan Holdsworth, Stryper, Dokken, and Stanley Clark.\n\nMICHAEL JACKSON - BAD\nChristopher Currell performed the Synclavier, Digital Guitar, and many special effects on this award winning album. Christopher also helped arrange the hit \"BAD\" along with Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones. Christopher also played Synclavier and Digital Guitar on Michael Jackson's \"BAD\" world tour.\n\nMICHAEL JACKSON - HISTORY\nChristopher has also contributed to Michael Jackson's album \"HISTORY.\" Christopher's listed album credits include: Rhythm Arrangements, Synclavier, Guitars and Percussion.\n\nNEW DIRECTIONS\nSince working with Michael Jackson, Christopher has pursued questions concerning the basis of the subjective and objective nature that sound has on the human mind and physical system. Most importantly, how sound can link the human mind and spirit to universal consciousness. Christopher has discovered that the answers to these questions are to be found in the area of quantum physics...more specifically, having to do with Quantum Holography and phase-conjugate-adaptive-resonance (PCAR). This research has cumulated in the form of his music project called ishwish, also available on Magnatune.\n\nMUSICAL ADVENTURES\nChristopher likes to create music also as an art form as well as a spiritual adventure. Between his research and live performances of ishwish, Christopher creates and produces various personal, experimental and artistic music projects. These activities are accessible as Christopher's solo projects, the first being released as \"Heart Sutra.\"\n\nCurrently, Christopher resides in Japan where he lives and creates in the mountains and forest overlooking the ocean and Mount Fuji.",
