Red West Reviewed 2009-02-04 | ||
Solo improv, out there arty. Many tracks not so much music as a demonstration of sounds. Mostly 3 mins or under. A homemade string acoustic instrument that sounds like lots of things, played lots of ways by its inventor- worth reading the liner notes. No vocals. 1.Scruffy, scrubbling - word I made up to describe this - like broken tabs of metal being scrubbed with a thick cleaning brush. Bits of rhythm make me think of oompah loompahs, other parts sound like a free jazz bass solo played through a horrible amp. 2.Starts like a distant foghorn then cello played with not enough rosin with hints of sitar. Wanders randomly around the scale. 3.Introspective plucked & percussive. Mellow. 4.Sounds like a tuba, with sitar hints again. A sick tuba, walking wounded. Pretty cool to get that from a string instrument. 5.deep growls then scary scraping 6.rapid shaking-a-stick-inside-the-body/on-muted-strings sound. Masturbatory. 7.bassy and bent, trippy 8.Delicate quiet high notes semitone apart 9.Nearly melodic fast hammering & plucking 10.Another musical one, sounds like a few notes played at an odd interval apart, plucked with a bit of sitar drones. 11.tiny noodles 12.quiet scrapple 13.Lovely but only a few seconds! 14.Loud hard scratching, painful, may cause miscarriage 15.quiet noodles 16.tiny scrapple > breathy > fingerpad plucked > demanding attention 17.fast screechy overtones from bowing, some sitar 18.a couple bass strings rattle around |
