Bob Ostertag (1957) is an American experimental sound artist, composer, performer, instrument builder and journalist. He teaches techno cultural studies and music at the University of California in Davis.
His musical career started in the mid 1970s when he founded the improvisation ensemble Fall Mountain with Ned Rothenberg and Jim Katzin. In 1979 he moved to New York where he collaborated with John Zorn, Fred Frith and Zeena Parkins. In 1980 he released an LP, Getting A Head, which he made together with guitarist Fred Frith and drummer Charles Noyes.
PantyChrist is Bob Ostertag together with Justin Bond and Japanese turntablist Otomo Yoshihide.
All-in-all they have made one CD together, entitled: PantyChrist. The CD was recorded during a concert at The Great American Music Hall and at the studio in October 1997.
Say No More is a project which consists of 4 CDs. For this project Bob Ostertag had asked all musicians to separately record their solo improvisations, without any mutual communication or instructions by Bob Ostertag. After that he put all the individual recordings together into compositions.
Eat Dust comes from the CD Fear No Love. A dance/funk CD but stocked with 15 years experience in the avant-garde.
Improvisation was recorded at the ICA in London on 8 September 1996 during a concert in honour of the 15th anniversary of the London Musicians’ Collective. Bob Ostertag has been working with vocalist Phil Minton since the beginning of the 1980s.
Sooner Or Later was recorded at The Bear Cave in San Francisco in 1990. The raw material consisted of a recording of a crying Salvadorian boy who buries his father and 20 seconds of Fred Frith’s guitar playing. 
Periwinkle comes from the CD Verbatim and is the third CD from the Say No More project. Wack comes from a CD that Bob Ostertag released himself where he plays a Buchla 200e modular synthesizer. DJ Of The Month is part two of the solo project where Bob Ostertag only plays a sampler.
