Daniel Bachman to Barn Owl, Fripp, Kotke, Fahey, Derek Bailey, Loren Mazzacaine Connors all spring to mind with this solo guitarist composer. I was somewhat shocked to find he was behind the extreme noise rock band Harry Pussy (!), toured with likes of Sonic Youth. But it makes sense as there is no lack of dissonance in his guitar lines, bordering on noise. But he somehow makes it sound musical if not “nice”, hence the Kotke et al refs. Majestic stuff. And I understand that he lives in SF now, so is local. 1) (3:53) lovely mindful slow sweet slight twangs build into manic contrasting dissonant riffs 2)* (3:37) more abstract, dissonant lines somehow come across musical 3) (2:35) repetitive looping layerings takes on a near frippertronics feel, challenging 4) (4:21) mellow start but grows denser and strummy 5) (2:40) choice riffage over simple chord progression 6) (1:39) brief and bluesy 7) (4:54) another meandering field of manic dissonance that manages to come across pretty and musical 8)* (1:31) a vague version of Moon River, heavy tremolo, nice 9) (3:09) another dense mindful riff filled painting 10) (2:10) peaceful and final: “man dies”. | ||
