The ECM Influenced Guitar of Loren Connors
This is darkly beautiful stuff.
It’s rare in today’s experimental music cadre for a guitarist to play an electric instrument while restraining the tendency to let loose and churn out fuzz ridden, almost nonsensical noise. Playing free certainly has its place – and always will. But more often than not, it seems as if there’s a reduced number of emotions being exuded during those freeq outs. And while it might be said that introspective music is all dour, without too much aggressive reward, it’s still possible to relate anything from a pensive feeling to exuberance with the least amount of notes possible and in a controlled setting.
