| june 2010 release ; beautiful lp from composer duane pitre’s “bowed guitar ensemble”, here channeling ellen fullman, paul panhuysen, & johan goedhart’s “long string” installations & performances ...
duane’s been on something of a roll w/ his last few releases (inc. the “harmonic series” comp he curated for important - great disc) & this just raises the bar with an impeccably recorded set of raga-centric music, perfect for zoning out mid-afternoon while life just buzzes by ... highly recommended !!! |

| duane pitre
origin
rs-66 lp
the entirety of origin’s musical material is comprised of the vibrating strings of pitre’s ensemble of bowed “harmonic-guitars,” which are unconventionally strung electric guitars (utilizing multiunisons) tuned to intervals corresponding with the harmonic series, a.k.a. just intonation. no effects processing (pre or post) was used in this recording. all effect-like qualities result from the multi-unison strings (phasing), sympathetic vibrations, combination/ difference tones (of the chosen just tuning), and natural acoustic phenomena as such.
pitre has releases on labels such as important records, trome records, nna, and quiet design. in 2010 pitre will have multiple releases of his work on root strata. origin is limited to 300 copies in full color lp jackets. pitre has presented his works in nyc at such spaces as roulette, the stone, moma’s p.s.1, phillips de pury & co., st. marks church, the knitting factory, and issue project room (where he was the spring 2009 artist in residence). he has also performed in other cities across the u.s., as well as in europe. he has shared bills with artists such as marc ribot, tony conrad, audrey chen, sean meehan, and james blackshaw.
edition of 300 lps’s. |
