avant-garde tabletop guitarist (formerly of brise-glace
and a number of other groups) has been working for several years with other
members of chicago's improv scene -- most notably ken
vandermark and jim
o'rourke. his all-white new self-titled album on perdition plastics
gives you a chance to check out some of his really outthere solo work.
says peter margasak, "drumm has developed a guitar analogue to the computer-generated
minimalism of finland's mika
vainio (of pan
sonic) or
pita and general
magic, exploiting intentional and accidental elements in disturbingly
disjointed, highly abstract, chillingly beautiful soundscapes -- and erasing
the already tenuous line between 'real' and 'artificial' music."
