Fresh from the live improvisation of Spasm and several live collaborations
with Mark Spybey of Dead Voices on Air comes this debut album from Eric
Pounder. Following in the footsteps of several of the aforementioned projects,
Eric has chosen to create an album based upon the singularity and tonality of a
single instrument, the guitar. Now while there are actually several other
analogue and digital instruments mixed into the seven tracks present on the
album, in reality the soulful plucking of the guitar is the true focus of this
release. Eric is quite obviously a master guitar player as is evidenced by the
startling degrees of separation between tracks on this album. He can take a
single note and make it hang for five seconds, screaming for release at one end
of the spectrum, and then dextrously coax the instrument into fits of speed
and chaos. It should be noted that this is not an album of guitar solos, but
rather an experimental approach to what can be obtained from this staple rock
instrument with the aid of a few other obscure instruments when one has the
true passion to master it's subtle intricacies..
