Joe+N - Crickets and Friends (2CDR) - Carbon Records $12.00
"my" sounds and "their" sounds.
this is a recording of a sound-installation created for a photo exhibit
by Kate Laux, entitled Self-Portrait Collaborations. "the project began
4 years ago as a way to stay connected with friends and family as i
moved, travelled and moved. i would mail out rolls of film or
disposable cameras and ask my collaborators to shoot self-portraits.
the collaborators were instructed to mail the film back to me. i
processed/printed their film and mailed them proofs or contact sheets.
i created a new project by responding to my collaborators work in
whatever way my collaborator chose, unless they gave no indication of
how i should respond. my collaborators are aware that these works will
be exhibited."

borrowing from Kate\'s theme of request-for-submission/collaboration, i
asked various people i know to record themselves and/or their
surroundings, and send me the results. I did not restrict them to any
theme, format or content. i, in turn, recorded my surroundings in the
weeks leading up to this exhibit. the majority of my recordings were
based on night-time sounds around my house, primarily crickets. on 3
straight nights, i recorded the flower garden below my front porch,
where a cricket set up camp. i used small microphones, which i was able
to lower into the plant field and maneuver in close proximity to the
cricket, without disturbing it. aside from the obvious macro-drones of
the cricket songs, i also heard an entire set of new sounds i've never
noticed. clicks, pops, static, the sound of the cricket starting and
stopping its song, anomalies in its rhythm. and other "disturbances." i
then took these source recordings and laid them out in such a way as to
juxtapose my friends describing themselves or their surroundings, and
the cricket "describing" my surrounding.

A TON OF NEW Releases since 10/12/2004 (33 items)
===========================================

Algebrassiere - that\'s irritainment (CDR) - SNSE $8.00
Algebrassiere is a seven-armed gilamonster, hairy everywhere except on
it\'s chest, eight cat heads sprouting from it\'s spine. As it lumbers
through the plasma center, it batters upon musical instruments with the
severed limbs of Randy Savage. It lives to lick the flames of fire and
spew stream-of-consciousnesses into a coffee can that doubles as a
toilet. It longs for love, but will settle for a crooked, gap-filled
smile from a whiskeystench bum. This album raises a racket that swings,
12 trax of impromptou fiendrocking fuck rock that makes you more virile
with each successive listen. Spraypainted, screened, colorcopied that
shit


Ashtray Navigations - to your fucking feather\'d wings (CD) - Gold
Soundz $10.00
(CO-RELEASED WITH ABSURD) --- Absurd and Gold Soundz proudly presents a
slab of acid psychout noise from Ashtray Navigations. Phil Todd has
been toasting brains for years now with a number of great releases. But
nothing cuts right into his acid dreams like this smokebomb of pure
psych-wah. Nearly an hours worth of perfectly fried head AND skull
music. Definately one to be had...

\"Although it\'s not a daily question for me, I must admit I sometimes
to wonder about some people. People whose work I strongely admire but
that somehow seem to disappear. Where are they hiding? One such person
is Phil Todd, aka Ashtray Navigations. A few years ago he had a stream
of releases, mostly on CDR or very limited vinyl, but I don\'t recall
seeing something new from him. So you can\'t believe how delighted I
was to see this new sign of life, a real CD under the banner \'To Your
Fucking Feather\'d Wings\' - and I wasn\'t the only since two labels
are responsible for this release. Maybe I missed a couple in the recent
years? In case, Ashtray Navigations play lo-fi guitar noise, recorded
on probably the shittest means around. All in good order to get that
signature Ashtray Navigations recording sound. I imagine Phill Todd in
his garage, with his guitar and maybe two effect pedals, a fuzzy amp, a
cheap microphone and an old reel to reel tape-recorder, playing the
guitar with fingers, brushes, toys or pieces of scrap metal. Maybe I\'m
a hopeless romantic fool. There are three tracks here, the first two
are quite short, but the title piece is some forty-five minute epos of
guitar scraping. Noisy but minimal, sort of like a solo garage version
of the \'Theatre Of Eternal Music\'. In these long pieces, Ashtray
Navigations are at their best. Lengthy psychedelic lofi guitar improv
noise. Quite a mouthful, but worth every penny. Welcome back.\"

Bats\'l Son - music of the highlands of chiapas (CD) - Locust Music
$12.00
Legendary downtown New York producer & engineer Richard Alderson
captured some of the most essential sounds imaginable on tape at the
dawn of the 1960s by the likes of The Fugs, The Holy Modal Rounders,
The Godz, Pearls Before Swine, Albert Ayler, Sun Ra, Thelonious Monk
and a host of others. In the early 1970s, he dropped out of the scene
and relocated to Chiapas, Mexico. For five years he travelled
throughout the Chiapas highlands with a microphone in hand, putting to
tape some of the most stunning music imaginable. Bats\' I Son means
\'real song,\' and this foundational collection represents the
culmination of Alderson\'s years spent documenting the raw,
rarely-heard songs and ritual performances of an acoustic ecology
that\'s all but disappeared today. Brilliantly remastered from the
original master tapes at Alderson Acoustics in 2003, Bats\' I Son
features never-before-published photos, heavily revised liner notes and
updated track-by-track accounts by Alderson


Cotton Museum - Crippled Sloth (10inch) - SNSE $9.00
Cotton Museum\'s first \"pro-pressed\" release in a limited edition of
300 on yellow vinyl:

\"This easily will be one of those, “Man, have you heard…?” releases
because it attains two simple (yet surprisingly difficult to obtain)
and critical goals: it looks great and sounds great. For looks: hand
silk-screened two color cover with intricate line art meandering
between goofy and slightly sick. It reeks of “labor of love,”—a good
sign.

Audio-wise, Cotton Museum makes a solid effort to deface and remap the
geography of “noise” music; take flopping oscillators, distorted
squiddle and skronk, home made equipment hobbling along on last legs,
and spin that through a dilapidated washing machine and you’re only
defining a fraction of this 10.” Knots of sound may swing in short
jerks or hang in the air, yet nothing reeks of “Ooh, look how much I
can throw at you!” No; all sidestreet detours and U-turns are executed
for a reason, a key in making Crippled Sloth a deliriously rewarding
mud sandwich.\" - B Edwards, October 2004


D Yellow Swan - Drill Yellow Swans (CDR) - SNSE $8.00
Gnawing at the heels of the recent and well-received Narnack LP, Bring
the Neon War Home, this collection of top shelf live tracks was pulled
straight off the board during the D Yellow Swans 2004 summer tour of
the US. Dig it:

Wailing, throb coming amidst repetitive yellers stereo panjive circle

David Nzomo Trio - sweet soul of kenya (CD) - Locust Music $12.00
The Sweet Soul Of Kenya resuscitates a long-lost gem of a disc by the
East African David Nzomo Trio from 1950s Kenya. Listen in on a glimpse
of eight beautiful selections of swinging guitar and rich male/female
harmonizing, sung in the native Kikamba language. Cradled by jazzy
rhythms and upbeat melodies, The Sweet Soul Of Kenya is a lovely, quiet
revolt cut at a moment when countrywide rights to organize were illegal


Dead Machines - Human Brain Wasting Syndrome (LP) - Ecstatic Peace
$14.00
Dead Machines is the lovechild of John Olson of Wolf Eyes and Tovah
O\'Rourke of Wooden Wand and the Vanishing Voice. John leaves behind
the Wolf Eyes angst, yet keeps all of the aggression while Tovah adds
her own version of electronic mayhem and magic. To date, most of their
releases have been on John’s infamous label, American Tapes, notorious
for pressing quantities of two to forty-two in packaging that won’t
conform itself to your music shelf. Ecstatic Peace has provided
noise-addicts with a rare chance to own one of these LP’s limited to
1,000 copies.


E.W. Hagstrom - Emil and friends (CDR) - e.f. tapes & cdrs $6.00
Ten collaborations between Emil and his friends. Featuring: Ovo, Mike
Shiflet, PrairiePusher, Domokos, John Wiese, Gary Glitter\'s Hard
Drive, Panicsville, Burning Star Core, Shaun Kelly and Tore H. Boe.


Francisco Lopez - untitled #119 (3inch CD) - Lapilli $8.00
After the usual minute or two of silence, the piece starts slowly, and
little by little things evolve louder and louder. A big machine like
hum takes over, with a strange stereo sense, which works well when
played on headphones. Sounds coming in from the left and right, and
meanwhile in the centre there is this large machine hum. The city
looked upon from an entirely different angle. There are small, but yet
clear dramatic changes in the pieces to be noted. Switches in tones and
textures which happen on a superficial level, so it seems. This is a
fine Lopez work. Many will find beauty in here, just as I did. -- Frans
de Waard


Frode Gjerstad and Lasse Marhaug - Red Edge (CD) - Carbon Records $8.00
A unique collaboration between two legends of Norway‘s underground
music scene. Free-jazz saxophonist Gjerstad has, over the past 40
years, played with the likes of Evan Parker, Peter Br¿tzmann, William
Parker, John Stevens, Paul Rutherford and Sabeer Mateen. Noise artist
Lasse Marhaug is a member of Jazzkammer, DEL and Origami Replika; and
has collaborated with the likes of Merzbow, Aube, Kevin Drumm and Cock
E.S.P. \"Red Edge\" is a highly accomplished blend of electronic-noise
and free-improv, showcasing some of the best work from both musicians.
Co-released with Sunship, Breathmint, Carbon, Gameboy, and Little
Mafia.


Gastric Female Reflex - moments (CDR) - Gold Soundz $8.00
Gold Soundz proudly presents 2 new works by canadian psych/ noise group
Gastric Female Reflex. The music is generally rather low-key with some
wonderful bursts of noise...All kinds of weird instruments are being
amplified and recorded through different devices, there\'s a bit of
tape manipulation and electroaccoustic clatter and rumble... on the
second album even some voice loops... All mashed together and whipped
up for your listening pleasure... You get flashbacks of \"classic\" NZ
noise (Surface of the earth, Sandoz lab tech etc...) and perhaps some
of that Dylan Nyoukis or American Tapes madness.... Both CDRs come in
numbered editions of 50 copies, the actual discs are beautifully
handpainted and the covers are individually made.


Gastric Female Reflex - s/t (CDR) - Gold Soundz $8.00

Howard Stelzer and the Cherry Point - Gross (CDR) - Carbon Records $8.00
10YR.Series.09 - the ninth in the Carbon 10 year anniversary CDR
series. 46+ minutes of bi-costal, brutal, tape/electronic fabric. full,
and right on!


If, Bwana - I, Angelica (2CD) - Pogus $16.00
\"Into the rackets are ya, punk?\" \"Yeah, that\'s my story and I\'m
sticking to it.\" \"Get outta here, ya punk.\" I headed down the steps
and out the front door. \"!@#$%^&* nogood goddamn !@#$%^&*
noisemaker,\" I heard them mutter behind my back. (wow - I always
wanted to write one of these). Yeah, I\'m one of them. So there you
have it. I, Angelica, the noisy loud new double If, Bwana cd - trying
to clear a backlog of recordings out - at a not double cd price. I,
Angelica should be played loud. Real loud. Works for computer,
electronics, voice (?), guitars, synthesizers.


If, Bwana - Clara Nostra (CD) - Pogus $12.00
The rumbling continued. Matt slowly opened his eyes, then getting out
of bed (hopefully remembering to put on some underwear) wandered into
the common area of the loft. &qout;What the !@#$%^&*() is that!&qout;
\"Clara Nostra\" Matt (his roommate and not his deranged alter
ego/split personality) replied. \"That tells me alot.\" \"New If, Bwana
disc\" Matt blurts out, somewhat embarrassed by his obvious poor taste
in listening habits (not to mention his rather lax attention to
personal hygiene). \"Well that does explain a lot,\" Matt says as he
heads back to his room. \"No wonder it doesn\'t go anywhere. Kind of
annoying isn\'t it?\" Matt looked at Matt just before Matt disappeared
out of sight. \"I like it.\" Al says \"If 62 minutes of 156,000
clarinets rumbling and grumbling slowly through your speakers with no
destination home is for you, well you\'re home. On the other hand if
that sounds like something to drive you up a wall, well, be seeing
you.\"


KPTMichigan - s/t (CD) - Aesthetics $10.00
\"Germany\'s Kptmichigan (Michael Beckett) is an exploritory guitarist
who chooses a variety of diverse musical ideas.\\n\\nCurrently Michael
is part of Schneider TM\'s live group (they met in 1996 when Michael
was touring with his band, Tuesday Weld, & Schneider was touring with
his band, Hip Young Things) as well as the band Beautiful New Born
Children. \\n\\nTogether, he & Schneider TM released a record on City
Slang which included a hit cover of The Smith\'s \'There is a light
that never goes out\', which gained them international recognition. For
the record, that release was a collaboration, although press has seemed
happy to date with only giving credit to TM. \\n\\nTuesday Weld
eventually broke up, leaving Michael without a band & a bitterness
towards rock music. He started messing around with a sampler and a
groovebox. This eventually would lead to the creation of \'Hey Love\',
his 1st record as Kptmichigan. This Kpt. record is the one most
inspired by electronic music, which is ironic, as it was recorded
entirely onto a 4 track. \\n\\nAs 2001 rolled around, Kpt was feeling
bored of the clinical, hi-fi ness of electronic music, which he states
as having \'no sex & a major lack of attitude\'. \'Player, Player\' his
debut Aesthetics release, was created with only a 400 mhz/64 mb PC
along with some other gear. \'Player, Player\' is loud, dirty (with
hissing throughout) & sexy (the occurances of Jamican frequencies). Kpt
describes it as \'my statement against the general poo that was going
on around me\'. It ends with a prophetic song about a man who was about
to destroy the U.S. & the rest of the planet. \\n\\nOver the years he
has remixed tracks from: Calexico, Tennis, Shinsei & Schneider TM, and
has tracks on compilations on Mute, Kraak3 & Tigerbeat6. \\n\\nHe is
presently working on a collaborative record with Belgium\'s Kohn
(Kraak3) which will release in 2005, and is producing an album for Mek
Obaam (Christian of Schneider TM experience).\"


Mammal - fog walkers (LP) - SNSE $10.00
A masked man in a hooded sweatshirt stands over a collection of wires
and fuzz-emitting gadgetry twisting and turning esoteric switches and
knobs. Through relentless experimentation with squealing-barking waves
of distortion (closer to the common crackle of shorted-out circuitry
than Merzbow feedback), he\'s constructing sonic CODE that directs the
movement of human limbs reflexively, irrespective of personal will.
Pioneers like the Gristle and Whitehouse began this work but quickly
bogged their projects down with syrupy dreams of sociopolitical
influence and reverberation. Not until very recently with the emergence
of Forcefield (and by nature their extensions,) and Pleasurehorse has
groove research of the most fundamental sonic CODING become a reality.
Now this dude Mammal and his Fog Walkers have arrived with the most
succinct instructions for antisocial rock \'n\' roll behavior. The
merciless low-end pounding of the track, \"Fog Rhythm\" should actually
be called \"Pick the TV Up And Hurl it At Your Mom Then Drink Dad\'s
beer while Nailing Sis.\" The shuddering \"Tube Fog\" is the
double-helix of Sabbath\'s debut. And the 13+ minutes of \"Fog Face\"
are a conglomeration of just about every code needed to precipitate a
sweat-soaked night of furious punk rock in the basement of the house
you got evicted from six hours earlier in the day. -J Farrar, June 2002


Mouthus - Loam (LP) - Ecstatic Peace $14.00
Somewhere between electronic noise, drone and psychedelic rock, you
will find the Brooklyn duo, Mouthus, coiled and ready to strike. On
Loam, Brian Sullivan’s impenetrable guitar stirs your emotions and Nate
Nelson bangs a primeval beat that pounds through your chest to your
very being. Sinister vocal sounds on “Must Anubis” threaten to spin you
back to your caveman past. The movement of sound from chaos to
structure is Venus emerging, not from the ocean, but from primordial
ooze, then melting back into the goo.

…they absolutely destroy. Super great feedback and overload squall w/
a hep no-wave edge. The label (Psych-O-Path) touts them as a
brain-gouged cross between Jandek and Fushitsusha but our ears catch
something more of a Rudolph Grey-jamming-with-Sightings vibe. -Byron
Coley & Thurston Moore, (Arthur)


Nautical Almanac / Vertonen - split (LP) - SNSE $10.00
Nautical’s side could be considered a potential sound documentary of an
army of cats in ice skates crashing through a recycling center. How
carefully those felines climb the mountainous pile of aluminum cans
before fate sends them slipping down, down, down into glassware and
truck springs. Vertonen’s side sputters, lurches, and drones until
reaching an inevitable hallelujah to 60s female vocalists. The aural
pleasure is akin to that reached when an incandescent strobe light is
aimed at your eyes while you are restrained on a decrepit
merry-go-round.


Noise Makers Fifes - monomania of instinct (CDR) - Gold Soundz $8.00
Co-released with Humbug --- Finally this great NMF live recording from
Stockholm 1998 is seeing the light of day (after many delays). Loosely
based on Bachelard\'s animalistic aggression theory applied to the
writings of Lautreamont (\"Les Chants de Maldoror\"), this MS Stubnitz
live audio-visual performance stands out as one of NMFs perhaps
strongest live performances. One very long track (65 minutes), it takes
you from the inaudible to the full-on sense attack and back, it\'s
exploding with strong emotions... Perfomed partly on homemade sound
sculptures, they have developed a musical language that is quite
unique. Edition of 250 numbered copies in fold-out slipcase cover.


oVo - vae victis (CD) - bar la muerte $8.00
Testimony of Greek, Turkish, Bulgarian, Macedonian and Italian tour
made in 2001, this session was recorded the day after this tourr. OvO
were in this occasion, beside hosts Stefania and Bruno, also Jacopo
Andreini (Enfance Rouge, Nando Meet Corrosion, Bz Bz Ueu, etc...) and
Capoccia (Concrete, Los Vaticanos, Comrades, etc...). The sum is an
explosive mix of grindcore and improvisation... chaoscore?


Pauline Oliveros - no mo (CD) - Pogus $12.00
\"In the summer of 1966 I worked in the classical Electronic Music
Studio at the University of Toronto for six weeks. The system I used to
create No Mo and Something Else consisted of Layfette tone generators,
noise source and tape delay. In the Fall of 1966 I was the newly
appointed director of the Mills Tape Music Center formerly the San
Francisco Tape Music Center and now the Center for Contemporary Music
at Mills College. Bog Road was created at the Mills Tape Music Center
in the Summer of 1967 with the Buchla Series 100 Box. The studio
overlooked a pond where frogs were singing a chorus that inspired a
series of Bog pieces.\"


Pengo - a nervous splendor (LP) - Carbon Records $10.00
the first full-length (non-CDR) release by this group since 2000‘s
Climbs the Holy Mountain, and the first release on the new Haoma
Recordings imprint (with help from Carbon and Breathmint). a collection
of recordings spanning the years since, showcasing the group‘s use of
the out/pysch/improv/drone aesthetic. with special guest Nuuj on the
b-side epic \"What do you mean, Idi Amin?\". edition of 500.


pulseprogramming - Tulsa for one second (CD) - Aesthetics $10.00
Pulseprogramming\'s \'Tulsa For One Second\' is a remarkable record,
rich and personal with understated textures and wintry elegance while
presenting an array of styles that reference artists such as Boards of
Canada, Matmos, early Mouse on Mars, & Telfon Tel Aviv (whose Charlie
Cooper mixed \'Tulsa\'). On \'Tulsa\' Pulseprogramming have expanded
their use of vocals (including contributions from Lindsay of L\'altra)
to create a handful of pop gems that interact with their lingering
instrumentals and make for a singular listening
experience.\\n\\n\'Tulsa For One Second\' is a truly unique record,
offering a musical and emotional range that is unusual for an
electronic record. \'Blooms Eventually\' opens the record as a superbly
eager love song with a rhythmic hope that belies the loss it expresses
(\'precious little time to spend with you/so take my hand/hush now
before you go\'), while \'Bless The Drastic Space\' closes the record
flawlessly with a striking, buoyant melody. With richer arrangements
and detailed rhythmic deftness, Pulseprogramming haven\'t just grafted
a human element onto their songs, but have permitted warmth that is
rare in electronic music.\\n\\nThe intent of the packaging (printed on
Tyvek by Blanchette Press in Canada) is to be a vehicle for
\'Tulsa\'s\' inviting, intimate qualities while conveying impressions
of \'home\'. Illustration is used to manifest qualities such as
tradition, hospitality and to achieve an unassuming, homemade look and
feel.\\n\\nWith \'Tulsa for One Second\', Pulseprogramming have created
a defining record for contemporary electronic music in 2003. 1st
pressing of lp & cd transform into a house. 1st pressing of vinyl is
also on white vinyl.\"


Rollerball / oVo - my first cowboy (CD) - bar la muerte $8.00
The human and artistic partneship between OVO and Rollerball, sealed by
3 tours made together, goes on with this split cd featuring 9 tracks
where OvO play with Rollerball mambers and 7 tracks where Rollerball
duet with some hot names of NorthWestern American avantgarde, for this
album coproduced with TMR from USA.


Rune Lineblad - death of the moon (Electronic and Concrete Music
1953-1960) (CD) - Pogus $12.00
This disc is a reissue of lps on Pogus and Radium. Rune Lindblad
(1923-1991) was an early pioneer in electronic and concrète music.
Lindblad did not see these genres as mutually exclusive. Important and
wonderful works by a composer who represented no institutionalized
school of thought. At a concert in 1957, the critics called his music
\"pure torture.\" With a recommendation like that, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING
FOR?


Rune Lineblad - Objekt-2 (CD) - Pogus $12.00
Volume 2 of the music of RUNE LINDBLAD (1923-1991). This cd consists of
the remainder of the long out of print Radium double lp. These works
cover the years 1962-1988. Lindblad, a Swede began composing music in
1953. Ignored by the musical establishment in Stockholm, Rune went his
own merry way, composing over 200 works of electronic music. Limited in
the early years to often primitive equipment, he carved out his own
musical niche. The sounds were often raw, occasionally sca


Sir Richard Bishop - Improvika (CD) - Locust Music $12.00
By trade Sir Richard Bishop is a dealer of rare occult books and fine
paper ephemera. For many in the musical cosmos, he has occasion to
travel the smoke filled carnie circuit as 1/3 of the Sun City Girls
medicine show.

But in the twilight hours of a shadow world sensed only by few, Bishop
is a dazzling unaccompanied guitarist. On Improvika, Bishop rides a
very tall horse through a surrealist\'s cowboy set that\'s 1 part bruit
Peckinpah muscularity & 2 parts illuminated Jodorowskian symbolism.a
very strange place, indeed. Armed only with a single steel string
wooden guitar, bare-knuckled Bishop fends off the horrors & dangers of
the night with ease as he spits out glorious white robed arabesques,
django inspired gypsy arcs, & latin terracotta flourishes like so many
spinning tumbleweeds in a one horse town that is his alone.

Improvika is Sir Richard\'s follow up to his part on locust\'s
celebrated Wooden Guitar collection and second full length release
after his debut on John Fahey\'s Revenant label.


Smallflowers Press - issue #1 (ZINE) - Smallflowers Press $4.00
"Debut issue of this Malden-based mag. Features extremely extensive
interviews with Dredd Foole (whose classic 1995 album In Quest of Tense
has become some kind of cornerstone), Sunburned Hand of the Man, and
Chris Corsano. No reviews, almost no ads. Just one piledriving Q and A
after another" - Forced Exposure

"I spent 2003 interviewing free-folkers (hardy har har) Dredd Foole,
Chris Corsano, and especially Sunburned Hand of the Man. The result is
issue one of a zine called Smallflowers Press. It is the most in-depth,
horse\'s-mouth document to date on what The Wire called "new weird
america" and features about 200 exclusive photos and 80 pages." -

Thurston Moore / Dylan Nyoukis / Carlos Giffoni - make no mistake about
it (CDR) - Gold Soundz $8.00
(CO-RELEASED WITH ECSTATIC PEACE! AND IMVATED) ---- \"Thurston yelling,
bitching and yodeling along the third track of the Chewing Smoke disc,
into a hand held recorder while driving his car. Dylan says: \"Pretend
yr some little fan boy who was stowed away in the back of Ts car, feel
yr heart sink as yr idol destroys all his cred, like yr paw dancing at
a wedding...\" Imvated catalog.


Uton - XXX (CDR) - Gold Soundz $8.00
A new great album from the Tampere, Finland psych-noise favourites.
Quite a bit more intense and claustophobic than many of his previous
albums. Perhaps somebody\'s put something funny in the drinking
water... Uton has released many albums the last 2-3 years on Pseudo
Arcana, Jewelled Antler and his own imprint Haamumaa. Edition of 100
copies.

$12.00

Schachter, Tiempo Quebrado (1993); Ricardo Dal Farra, …Due Giorni Dopo
(1988) and Ashram (1991), with Joseph Celli on mukha veena; Martín
Alejandro Fumarola, Callejuelas (1996) and El peregrinar de la araña

Cromberg, Mari


Various Artists - Wooden Guitar (CD) - Locust Music $12.00
Back in print! If you missed the numbered, silkscreen edition, here\'s
another chance to pick up this wonderful compilation. Wooden Guitar is
an inspired excursion into the creases and folds of modern deltadelica
and a loosely worn blues by four unaccompanied guitarists doing their
thing and going it alone for a really long time.

A simple title with a simple idea, Wooden Guitar brings together some
of our favorite guitarists for a fine tour de force of unaccompanied
performances. Germany\'s Steffen Basho-Junghans , Seattle\'s Sir
Richard Bishop (the Sun City Girls), Japan\'s Tetuzi Akiyama and
Virginia\'s Jack Rose (Pelt) give us a fresh look at a very old
instrument with a handful of gloriously stretched out solo compositions
in the spirit of the great Takoma gatherings of years past.
