MAX RIDGWAY / MICHAEL UNRUH

Book Of Secrets

(Alien Music Productions) Used CD $8.00

“Fantastically warped improv in which complex encrypted messages fly back and forth at blinding speed,” says Opprobrium, “An insane barrage of tonal bombast and palette overload.” Ridgway’s slinky, pointillist technique on guitar synthesizer and prepared guitar bears a strange, unique array of microtones, while Unruh bleeds notes together on bass clarinet in a worried, tangled skein of oddly pitched sounds. From 1996.
