about

This is a collection of pieces for electronic guitar. Most were improvised after having done a lot of experiments with the tape and digital effects that were available to me as a studio engineer in the late 80s-early 90s.

These pieces were often created after a long and stressful day's work, when I was ready both to relax and to break out of the restrictions imposed by conventional popular music. I was seeking and searching with a guitar in my hands, looking for the primal self who had been under wraps all day--the ape who delighted in the surprises sound could deliver.

This album is dedicated to two of my favorite artists: the poet Theodore Roethke (1908-1963) and the painter Charles Burchfield (1893-1967), two American Midwesterners whose respective art celebrates the mystical aspects of nature that can be found in a weeded lot, on the underside of a leaf or in the subtle changes in an afternoon breeze...if only one pays attention. All titles come from their work.

While it's true Melville was referring specifically to the process of rendering blubber from a floating whale carcass, the same philosophy could be applied to our approach to music: make plans, but make them flexible; improvise and adapt. "Careful Disorderliness" is our motto. ... more
