KUWAYAMA-KIJIMA / CARTER THORNTON
Shrine
(Conduit Creations) Used LP $8.00
Post-midnight summit from 2005 recorded in a vast Shinto shrine by that one guy from Enos Slaughter in the company of the zoned Japanese improvising duo. The trio utilizes acoustic guitars, cellos, violins, sticks, leaves, rocks and toys. “At points Thornton’s guitar playing sounds like an extremely fractured take on American Primitive modes,” notes Volcanic Tongue, “While the whole huge spatial geometry of the group sound conjures up huge orchestras of revolving wooden insects.”
