| november 2008 release ; the seventh in the “guitar series vols. 3 & 4 ...
first solo release from san agustin / haunted house guitarist andrew burnes, 20+ minutes of sliding ebow / lap-steel tones reminiscent of a more present take on folke rabe’s “was?” ; that this is being released on vinyl adds just so much more to the overall feel of the piece - the slight pitch-slide that happens with each successive rotation of the record (listen to the sound-sample) lends a certain woozy vibe to the proceedings ...
this is a really nice one, esp. if extremely “gradual” music is your thing ... |

| andrew burnes telescope
table of the elements continues to celebrate its 15th anniversary with the sixth installment in its guitar series vols. 3 & 4. it’s a 12xlp romp of deviant fretnoise by some of experimental music’s most prominent players, including christian fennesz, thurston moore, and sunn o)))’s stephen o’malley.
table of the elements happily presents the long-overdue solo debut of andrew burnes. burnes, along with david daniell, is a founding member of the ethereal, post-blues ensemble san agustin; he’s also a member of haunted house, alongside loren mazzacane connors; and he’s performed in improv settings with the likes of ken vandermark and thurston moore. finally committed to vinyl, he doesn’t disappoint: telescope is a glittering chunk of sound, as burnes transforms that particular emblem of americana, the steel guitar, into one vast, slowly undulating drone.
andrew burnes’ name may not be familiar, but fans of the genre needn’t worry. back in 1993, table of the elements’ original guitar series featured what was only the second us solo release from a similarly unknown artist: jim o’rourke. you can trust us again with this one. |
