Pictures of Poodles
The Unknown Rockstar continues his exploration of the drone and the echo, using guitar, keyboard and electronics to build rippled and whorled sound tapestries that distort and fragment around the listener. He investigates the tension between static repetition and change in these evolutionary pieces. Sometimes subtle, sometimes forceful, but always with a melodic underpinning that results in beauty seeping through the crunch of these pieces. 2008 - PMC060 See also: [Pickel][Deep Earplug Music] |

sound board
an album of beautiful, relatively sparse instrumental playing, on acoustic and electric guitar and on clarinet. The instrumental methods and modes developed through the Tangent Precipitate era are bought to a more focused conception of improvisation and sound under the guise of this new persona. 2004 - PMC039 See also: [wood, brass, nylon][age of illumination] [outside the inside] |
