about

Released on CD by Siltbreeze in 1999, this was my third solo guitar album, after Sink the Aging Process (1994) and The Evan Nando of Noise (1997). I recorded the whole thing myself at home, using a multi-track cassette recorder (those were popular back in the heyday of lo-fi). The title track is a suite in 5 sections of different permutations of the same six pitches, realized using different extended techniques on electric guitar and for one section, a toy chord organ I'd bought on tour in Twin Falls, Idaho. "All Blues" gets its title from the MXR Blue Box octave divider/fuzz I used on it.

This version includes a bonus track, "The Shvitz," recorded at the same sessions and previously released on a CD that came with issue #3 of Halana magazine in 1998.

Truly special. A debut double album released on two different labels (see also Ashiato) showing breathtaking compositional technique. Jazz, musique concrete, electronic, experimental. And it's no mixed bag, engaging and brilliant throughout. Dano Williams

Ambarchi is such a master of the continuous musical thought, a slowly unfurling impulse equal parts urgent and aimless. Outstanding ❤️ benmike

If I told you an album recorded with pulse generators and a shortwave and distortion soars you’d be sensible to not believe me but this is a glorious noise in full flight. unruh2525
