Nice tilting groove, sonic textures, and asymmetrical percs underpinning the Cheshire grin of a languidly distorted guitar tumbling into deconstruction, dissipation and slam coalescing through the tease of a cool e piano run back to front.

Shifting, shimmering sheets of sound and waves of oscillation emerging and recombining into vast bladelike planes. Whirlpools of sonic alloys singing above a laticework of phased pulsings. Surreal, turbulent, expansive.

First of all this is simply a fascinating guitar track. Cool technique that utilizes fingerboard, bridge, harmonics, bends, etc. But it is crafted so that the the instrument becomes secondary and the sonics themselves become the main focus with the actual character of the sound defining the direction of the piece. Good minimalist approach that acts as a balance to the fat modulated tones and the restraint to maintain plenty of open space that allows the sculpted notes to stand out in full relief. The result is an exotica that is almost gamelan at times.

Lots of compressed energy transmitting here. Although the initial impression can be of a dissonant onslaught , ironically I found it to be quite meditative with repeated listenings revealing an organic composite of contrasting lines that supported as much as they played off of each other. A sonic nova burst of luminous strands interweaving and reforming like an aural mandala.

This goes for everything you've got here - eclectically copacetic! This is what I'm looking for when I let my ears stalk the 'experimental' pages.
