    Delightfully off-kilter. I was definitely going to give a shout out to Robert Fripp. I really appreciate anyone who can wrap their sensibilities around something that’s so unstable… And live in that space long enough to create a composition. I have watched a bunch of that Failing to Fracture. Pretty amazing. Also reminds me a little bit of Television… But I could be wrong.

    • @ThePresterjohnmusic
      @ThePresterjohnmusic Рік тому

      Thanks for the kind words. Now that you mention it, I can hear Television in there too! I'm not sure which song, which part, but, with the melody slowed down, Richard Lloyd and Tom Verlaine are in there somewhere.

    I might have varied the preparation a bit during the piece. The alligator clip is an interesting effect, but it never changes, and after 4 minutes or so it gets a bit fatiguing.

    I absolutely love what you do. It was really Beautiful I love the way that the little ball end gave you that insane low tone in and the way it as a note, I don’t know how to describe it glissandod lower was really cool. I have done prepared guitar in my time but never really fully explored it, lately I’ve been wanting to do it. I would consider an honor if you would let me borrow that idea. But It’s that first strings tone that was awe inspiring… also I love the gray and black in the hair I’ve always like that. Anyway I play the instruments of ancient Mexico I’ve been doing it since 1975 but I’m been a guitar player since 1968 and I’ve always done experimental things back when it wasn’t even called experimental LOL but that’s how I’ve been doing stuff I really appreciate what you’re doing and showing it to other people
