CDR 3" from CLaudia (CLaudi_020)

Archived item from CLaudia


This is a short compilation of four 5 minute long guitar tracks. The initial concept was for a collection of tracks all "using guitars but not sounding like guitars." This might have offended some of the participants, so now the revised concept is simply "guitars". Ranging from the deep glacial drift of Un Ciego, through the scratchy feedback broadcasts of Ben Spiers, and the cosmic processed fizz of CJA & Jani Hellen, to the binary "noise versus silence" melodies of Pumice.

02: Ben Spiers "My Guts"
