this set from six parts seven guitarist allen karpinski shares mark mcguire’s approach ; acoustics are sent packing through various time-based effects, yielding some nice spectral smearing & convolution of the rich steel-string tones ...

february 2011 release ; ... the pleasant surprise of the batch is this extended piece from ohio polyglot (in addition to his learned fingerstyle, he’s an avid field recordist, with a disc on greg davis’ “autumn leaves” series & a forthcoming set of electronic music for the john “outer space” elliott-run editions mego sub-label spectrum spools) matthew mullane (aka fabric) ...

this one unfurls in a perfectly organic way, with the two side-length variations rife with dynamic changes & long, spare sections of rubato phrasing(s) ... excellent stuff !!!

mark mcguire “vdsq • solo acoustic volume two” long playing record

  • at first sight
  • vitamins
  • second thoughts

  • front porch breeze
  • burning leaves
october 2009 release ; don’t let the title fool you (as it did me) ... mark doesn’t so much drop his version of the takoma sound here inasmuch as offer a solo variant on the echoplexed guitar styles that he uses when anchoring emeralds’ time-space drift (think “e2-e4” with a bit more in the way of modal development) ... only here fretted on what sounds like an ovation run through an arsenal of time-based effects & layers upon layers of overdubbed & multi-tracked parts ...

much more linear & melodic than emeralds ever gets, just a hair away from mid-period popol vuh in it’s tonality and/or approach ... nice stuff !!!

mark mcguire vdsq - solo acoustic volume two
