Acoustic guitar. Virtuosic, raga/folk/experimental. Lots of different moods. Some "difficult", some outright pleasant, some droney. Great stuff. Compare with Alvarius B. Modern day hippies from the mountains...at least that's what I imagine. FCC clean. Pick any track. 1-4:20) Starts simple and clean. Lilting. 2-2:26) Plucky, stuttery, worldish, but not clear from where. 3-5:06) Zither. Fast romp with a drone underneath. 4-5:04) Slow. Wandering. Difficult. 5-2:22) Skitterish diminished chords. 6-4:30) Deeply resonant low notes. Shifty, drony, and vaguely exotic. 7-1:23) Fast, skitterish. 8-4:11) Rambling folk-blues tinged. 9-5:10) Skittery, fast, stuttering over a drone. Virtuosic. 10-2:40) Mid/slow. Difficult chords accompanying a strange melody. 11-5:53) Slow, lyric, sad clusters. Becomes peaceful and hypnotic. 12-3:54) Experimental busy strumming. Occasionally make out Reinhardt chords. 13-2:08) Dark, unconventional zither playing. 14-4:13) Fast, busy, full. Jazz and blues chords. Abstractly a blues rocker, playing bass and guitar melody at the same time. 15-4:28) Sparse death folk. 16-2:36) Twirling, nice picking. Folky. Nice harmonies. 17-3:59) Fast foward a country song on crack. 18-2:23) Exotic/indian raga almost. 19-8:42) Long and raga. Beautiful playing. | ||
