Science Park

Myke Weiskopf is a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and sound-artist based in Hollywood, CA. Raised in the Chicago suburbs, he developed a signature style influenced equally by the traditional new-wave and electronic pop of the era and his more esoteric personal influences, such as shortwave radio and the industrial architecture of the Midwest. Moving to Boston in 1995, he formed the electronic pop group Science Park in 1997 and issued three increasingly acclaimed albums: Science Park (1997), Futurama (1998), and Disinformation (2000). Science Park was nominated for the Boston Phoenix's Best New Local Act in 1998 and was featured on a Boston Globe cover story on Boston's best up-and-coming acts in 2000. Weiskopf disbanded Science Park the following year and retreated from pop music altogether, focusing instead on freelance writing, sound-art composition, and experimental radio broadcasting, including commissions for the American Repertory Theatre, Cambridge Community TV, and Harvard's radio station, WHRB 95.3 FM. He resurfaced in early 2007 with a commemorative anthology entitled 30: A Retrospective 1976-2006. He currently scores for film, dance, and television and edits the blog Shortwavemusic.
