About Kramer
Artist Biography
Best known as the in-house producer and proprietor of the Shimmy Disc label, Kramer (first name Mark) also has an extensive résumé as a musician, usually in bands or with collaborators, but occasionally solo as well. His music tends to be atmospheric with a touch of the abstract, frequently using found sounds to add texture and detail to his recordings, and is often deeply personal, dealing with issues in his life and his own creative fascinations, though not without a sense of humor. 1992's The Guilt Trip was his first magnum opus, an eclectic two-hour spectacular; 2012's The Brill Building paid homage to great pop songwriters; and 2022's Music for Films Edited by Moths was a set of atmospheric, minimalist compositions. Kramer has remained heavily collaborative, issuing the 2023 full-length Baptismal with Laraaji, and teaming up with Pan•American for 2024's Reverberations of Non-Stop Traffic on Redding Road.
