| | | catholic tapes (usa) #ct 053 cs christopher riggs “0:25, 0:50” c30 cassette | august 2010 release ; ... after starting this tape of extremely detuned bowed guitar music (deduction via pure speculation : chris ; don’t be all writing me letters) then returning to my desk & forgetting what i was listening to for a while, i started noticing that this sounded exactly like my neighbor (an author of technical manuals for office machines, which i learned by spying on him) when he’s talking on the phone with his daughter (ditto) ; i mean, exactly like him, with his voice filtered through a previously exterior wall of metal & thick brick that removes everything save for the sub 500hz fundamentals ...
this was either a happy accident, or chris has somehow mastered the pacing, then the synthesis of adult male speech patterns ; either way, i’m suitably impressed ... |

christopher riggs
0:25, 0:50
c30 // high bias / 100 copies
extremely fascinating and ultra-minimal work from michigan guitarist; christopher riggs. while equally noted for his work in projects like graveyards and traum, and work on his own imprint holy church fever, chris’ solo output has been nothing shy of prolific in the past few years with his unique brand of prepared and mangled guitar work that is truly his own. 0:25, 0:50 is a new exploration in minimal sounds and part of a new and ongoing series for chris that is sure to turn heads. while working with a very minimal array of sounds, chris constructs sparse and crooning soundscapes playing off repetitive and cylindrical movements. very unusual.
full color inserts, professionally printed on heavy cardstock, in an edition of 100 copies. |
