amerkalı post-classical besteci olan jim o'rourke amerka ve avrupa avant-garde müziğinin biraraya gelmesinde önemli bir rol oynamıştır. çalışmalarında çok büyük müziksel çeşitliliğe sahip olan o'rourke, jazz'dan rock'a, ambient'ten electro-acoustic müziğe kadar, bir çok müzik tarzını bir araya getirmiştir.

chicago'da doğup büyüyen bu kişilik, bu büyük şehrin kültürel kaynaşmasından müziksel bağlamda faydalanmıştır. chicago'da jazz ve gürültü (noise) fanatiklerinden tutun, yatakodası deneyselcilerine kadar bir çok müzik tarzının etkisi altında o'rourke izole edilmiş toplumlardaki müzik anlayışından daha fazla temele bu sebebten ötürü sahiptir.

başka gruplarla ve kişilerle yaptığı emprovize çalışmalarının yanında elektro-akustik diye tabir edilen tarzda bir çok solo albümde yapmıştır. çalıştığı modern sanatçılar arasında derek bailey, henry kaiser, eddie prevost ve keith rowe (ingiliz emprovize grubu olan amm üyesi), kk null, david jackman (organum), ve eski krautrock deneyselcilerinden faust bulunmaktadır.

o'rourke ayrıca 90'ların başında dan burke'un illusion of safety projesinin 3 albümünde yerini almış ve bu projeden sonra deneysel takılmak istediği için david grubbs'ın grubu olan gastr del sol'a dahil olmuştur.

90'ların başında yaptığı bir kaç solo çalışmasından sonra kendini başka kişiler ve gruplar beraber yaptığı projelere vermesinin ardından john zorn'un plak şirketi olan tzadik altında terminal pharmacy'i çıkarmayı başarmış ve ayrıca the kronos quartet ve the rova saxophone quartet için özel işler yapmıştır.

1997 yılınad bad timing, 99 yılında eureka ve 2001 yılında ise insignificance albümünü piyasaya süren o'rourke, en son wilco'nun üyeleri ile gerçekleştirdiği loose fur(2002) projesi ile kendinden yine söz ettirmeyi başarmıştır.
ayrıca yaklaşık 7 albümdür sonic youth'la çalışan o'rourke son albümleri olan muray streetlte sonic youth grubunun üyesi olmuştur.

soyadından dolayı bir zamanların ünlü holivud yıldızı mickey rourke çağrışımı yapan jim o'rourke soyadından anlaşılabileceği gibi irlanda asıllı bir amerikan vatandaşıdır. şikago doğumlu olan jim (samimiyetten değil soyadını yazmanın verdiği zorluktan dolayı jim demeyi tercih ediyoruz), son yirmi yılın en önemli avant-garde, deneysel bestecilerinden biridir. rok'tan caza, elektronikten dünya müziklerine kadar uzanan geniş yelpazeleri günümüz çağdaş müziğinde bir araya getirmeyi başarmıştır.

besteciliğin yanında özellikle albüm prodüksiyonları, soundtrack çalışmaları ile dikkat çekerken kendi kurduğu proje grupları ve solo albümleri de "sanatsal rok" diye tarafımdan uydurulmuş bir kavram içine girmektedir. jim'in prodüksiyon aşamasında çalıştığı gruplar arasında sonic youth (ki bir ara grubun konserlerinde de çalmıştır ve sonrasında grubun bir üyesi olmuştur) da bulunmaktadır ki sonic'in jim ile çalışmaya başlaması grup için ciddi bir dönüm noktası olmuştur.

jim, gastr del sol adlı deneysel proje grubuyla 90'lı yıllarda oldukça başarılı işler yaptıktan sonra solo çalışmaya karar verekek bad timing (1997), eureka (1999) ve insignificance (2001) gibi nefis albümlere imza atmıştır. özellikle insignificance da jim, bir bas ustası olduğunu kanıtlarken, caz ve rok öğelerinin nasıl birleştirilmesi hususunda da text-book^* kıvamında bir albüm ortaya çıkarmıştır.

kalıplaşmış türlerin ötesinde, değişik türlerin birleşmesinden hoşlanan, deneysel, yenilikçi şarkılara açık olan müzik dinleyicilerinin kesinlikle atlamaması gereken biridir jim o'rourke (tam üç kez yanlış yazdım soyadını burada).

bu vesile ile 2003 ekim ayında bostancı'da arabama girip cd'lerimi çalan hırsıza da selam etmek istiyorum: umarım jim o'rourke cd lerimi kıymetini bilecek birilerine satmışsındır allahsız!

sonic youth elemanlariyla ve dahi bilumum müzisyenlerle yaptigi cali$malarla, 'eureka', 'bad timing' gibi albümleriyle ve daha cok arka planda duran tavriyla hayranlik uyandiran new yorklu müzisyen.. ayrica david grubbs'in grubu gastr del sol'un da ikinci adami..

lee ranaldo'nun aciklamasina gore artik sonic youth'la calmayacak olan asmis muzik insani, "oyle grup birakilir mi lan" seklinde de seslenilesi kisilik.
"jim is going through a lot of different stuff personally and about where he sees his future. he's really interested in pursuing stuff outside the musical arena, particularly film work. not necessarily soundtrack work, but making films and getting involved in that community."

sinema kariyerine odaklanmak üzere japonya'ya yerleşmek için terk eyledi sonic youth'u..büyük bir hayranı olarak sonic youth'la çalışması ne kadar mutluluk verdiyse, bu kararı da o denli hüsran verici. ama müzikten kopabileceğini hiç sanmıyorum, zaten öyle birşey söz konusu değil şimdilik, son beth orton albumu comfort of strangers'ın prodüktörlüğünü yaptı kendisi ve önümüzdeki aylarda jeff tweedy ve glenn kotche'la işbirliğinden oluşan topluluk loose fur'un albumu yayınlanıcak. sadece biraz odağını kaydırmak istemiş jim efendi, umutluyum ki sinema adına da iyi işler üretebilir ama bu adam kompozitor olmak için doğmuş. hevesini al ve geri dön jim!

school of rock'ın kamera arkasında danışmanlardan biri olarak karşımıza çıkıyor. çocuklarla yaptığı müzik sohbetleri pek keyifli. çocuklardan biri filmin şarkılarını sonic youth'un stüdyosunda kaydettik diye boşuna böbürlenmiyor.
