I
got up, made a too strong cup of coffee and put Henry Kaiser's new
solo
guitar
improvisation CD on.
I'm listening to the title
track right now and it is just beautiful and
awe inspiring.
It makes
me want to throw away all of my instruments and only play
electric
guitar
for the rest of my life.
Called 'where endless meets
disappearing', this long droning track is
just
beautiful:
abstract, melodic, fractured, soothing.
It has it all and if any of
you were fortunate
to have caught
Henry's exquisite solo set at the loop festival last year, it is
along
the lines of things he played to his beautiful and serene
underwater
photography
from under the Antarctic ice caps as a
professional diver.
Make sure you see Herzog's "Wild
Blue Yonder" for some simply
amazing underwater photos by Henry.
Also
"Encounters at the End of the World " has some Henry shots,
and shows him
playing.
I
can imagine being underwater listening to this music.
In the liner
notes, he calls this opus, ".....a concept album about
the
intersection of different
personal practise and their attached
intimacies."
You get this concept viscerally, just listening to the
playing.
It just made me completely forget about my small woes and
makes me want to
start
plugging gear in and using it in new,
undiscovered ways.
I had Kaiser's "It's a Wonderful
Life" since my pre-loop days.
Could never figure how he did it.
...it
was a digital delay with carefully set up square wave modulation,
( and
if anyone wants to try a plugin that does that, please ask (Win only)
)
That's
a pretty damn good recommendation for any music, I
suppose.
Well, you sold me on it :-)
...can't
find a source tho' :-(
