Résophonie

(A Bruit Secret) Used CD $8.00

Prepared guitar played with a resonator. “Strings buzz…, as … the resonator triggering unsuspected responses from the paper clips, pens, and other objects inserted under the strings,” say All Music Guide. “The pieces sound both harsh and crystalline…; in the realm of reductionis / lowercase avant-garde music, this album comes as a strange proposition.”

“Different propositions questioning the limits of the instrument through radical and oblique approaches. Close minimalist electronic experience in Larner’s piece, games on detuning in Stangl’s piece, and a Cagian questioning of silence in Sugimoto’s piece ‘Hum’. Beyond the instrumental stakes, it is a question of our relation with space and time. The guitar is only the vector through which we apprehend our musical object.” From 2003
