The content is something you’d never imagine from GEORGE MICHAEL, who stares defiantly at the listener—yet that sense of playfulness is a realm of freedom backed by experience. We’ve managed to secure a limited number of copies of this collaborative album by OREN AMBARCHI—one of today’s foremost sound artists and a master guitarist—and WILL GUTHRIE, a leading EAI percussionist and drummer. Repetitive phrases that transform through the use of a Leslie speaker, interspersed with intuitive drum pulses. They present rhythmic cycles only to deconstruct them.
From the DIY left-field sound mecca, 〈FUTURA RESISTENZA〉! Legendary OREN AMBARCHI, founder of 〈BLACK TRUFFLE〉, and drummer/percussionist WILL GUTHRIE—two artists who continue to pioneer experimental sound electronics and free improvisation at the forefront of their fields—have reunited. Side A features a static approach, with cymbal and gong sounds layering over guitar playing that makes full use of effects pedals, paired with the spiraling tone of a Leslie speaker and sustained harmonies from organ drones. The B-side features a dynamic approach that boldly unfolds with intense feedback resonance, shattering riffs, and quiet yet delicately pulsating drumming. A journey pursuing the ultimate in abstraction—one that, while operating in a realm of complete freedom, is clearly underpinned by decades of experience, as you’ll understand at first listen. Personally, this is undoubtedly one of the best releases of the year. I recommend it with the hope that it will be repressed. *Very limited stock available; please limit your purchase to one copy per person.
