Isaac Sherman is a Los Angeles-based musician, filmmaker, composer and projectionist.
Engaging with an array of analog and digital synthesizers, samplers, guitars and vocals, his music blends elements of experimental pop, kosmische, minimalism, ambient music and experimental jazz. His live shows offer a range of musical presentations, from structured compositions to free-flowing improvisations. He has performed at venues around Los Angeles such as Zebulon, 2220 Arts + Archives, Gold Diggers, Permanent Records, Healing Force Records - joining bills with musicians such as Dustin Wong, Julius Smack, Nicole McCabe, Gregory Uhlmann, and more.
His filmmaking work is informed by direct engagement with the medium; dissecting frames, manipulating and obscuring the lens, rephotographing, and hand-processing. He focuses largely on his immediate surroundings, preferring subjects and topics that feel inherently close. His work has been exhibited at festivals including the Ann Arbor Film Festival, Prismatic Ground (NYC), Light Field (San Francisco), Engauge Film Festival (Seattle), Chicago Underground Film Festival, Crossroads (SF), Milwaukee Underground Film Festival and more.
