about

As a guitarist, so many of my musical ideas and sensibilities are tied up in the feel and sound of the guitar. But as a composer, I have spent much of my career avoiding the instrument. The guitar is a very idiomatic instrument containing specific tendencies, limitations and techniques that can only be performed a certain way. The electric guitar in particular, with its vast array of variables – string material, different woods, pickups, effects pedals, amplifiers and even pick type – offer a different set of challenges from standard acoustic instruments, especially in regards to blend and dynamics. Utilizing mallets on the body, capos and long reverb times, I was looking to blur the lines between each of the different instruments and their specific sonic footprints, instead aiming for one aggregate sound that merges the instruments together and makes them indistinguishable from each other.

The phrase Plaques and Tangles refers to one of the suspected causes of cell death and tissue loss in Alzheimer’s disease. The plaques are clusters of sticky proteins that build up between nerve cells and tangles are twisted fibers that form inside of dying cells. Together, these disintegrate the transport system of synapses in the brain and prohibit essential supplies from moving through cells. This contributes greatly to learning and memory loss which causes distortion in spatial and temporal relationships.
