title: 8 guitars

release date: 25.08.03
8 guitars is a totally absorbing and trance-inducing work of psychedelic beauty. here eight guitarists are patched to a computer; recorded and manipulated live with no overdubs. each player observes strict, unchanging rhythmic patterns over the course of the recording. however, the dense, shifting rhythms in 8 guitars are derived not from the physical attack of the performers, but through the complex interaction of the overtones and harmonic characteristics of the instruments themselves. this makes for one of the most unique and compelling works for electric guitars in recent memory.
8 guitars is a finely balanced exploration of restraint and delicacy and is at the same time a full-blown raucous electro-catharsis. the sort of work that will satisfy not only the chin-stroking lovers of abstract electronica but also power-chord enthusiasts.
8 guitars is the first release by young composer scott horscroft from sydney/australia. |
