About

Bradley is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and composer. His compositional music is on the sparse side, seldomly requiring technical vituosity. These pieces fold around textural elements and do not ignore uniqueness of ensemble,individual and performance space. His compositions have been performed in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Graz, Austria. In 2003 and 2005 Bradley composed two pops-orchestral arrangements that have now been performed by the Houston Symphony and Detroit Symphony among others. Under the pseudonym b-radius, Bradley writes electronic music, seldomly performed live. Two tracks from the ambient electronic album "Sullivan" are used in two documentaries by Eliza Segell (of photographers Todd Hido and Katherine Adams) created for the Santa Barbara Museum of Art.

Bradley currently performs as a upright/electric bassist and cellist with various bands, new music ensembles, and ad hoc improvisation groups in New York City. He is a member of Kilter, (Josh Sinton, Peter Hess, Jacob Wick), and Ian Moss's Capital M and Bill Brittelle's Mohair Timewarp. He is also 1/2 of the indie-electro-pop duo The Bunkbeds with Monika Heidemann

Kemp has performed with with Joe Maneri, Gordon Beeferman, Jeff Arnal, Matana Roberts, Katt Hernandez, Cooper-Moore, Nioka Workman, Daniel Levin, Jamie Branch, Marc Riordan, Ashley Paul, Johanna Malone, Adam Wilson, Arto Artinian, Jonathan Vincent, Elliot Sharp, Randy Peterson, Barbez, Anti-Social Music, NOW Ensemble, the International Contemporary Ensemble, and World/Inferno Friendship Society.
