Musically, he is known for his politically charged compositions created from found sound (''Sooner or Later'', ''All the Rage''), his work with synthesizers over 45 years (from ''Bob Ostertag Plays the Serge 1978-1983'' to ''Wish You Were Here'' in 2016), and his many collaborations (Anthony Braxton, John Zorn, Fred Frith, Justin Vivian Bond, Shelley Hirsch, and Roscoe Mitchell to name just a few).
In his writing, films, and podcasts, he has addressed LGBT issues, poverty, climate change, and technology, from a militant yet non-ideological perspective.
On March 25, 2006, Ostertag made all of his recordings to which he owns the rights available as digital downloads under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 2.5 license. Provided by Wikipedia
