Provocation 2

More bouzouki abuse. She likes it.

Recorded on my trusty Zoom H2.

Brokenmusic.
Over 2 decades of playing guitar and I desperately needed to smash it to pieces, to start again. To play like a child, to rediscover sound and my instruments.
A most vulnerable process this, now to expose it to the elements.
Curious to see what happens when the light touches it, when I breathe on it, when you look at it. Does it oxidise? What does that sound like?
I can also be found playing in a slightly less broken fashion with Sydney's most intense, extreme metal band, Mother Eel. Find us herewww.facebook.com/MotherEel, herehttp://corporatemanifestations.com/eel/, or herehttp://www.myspace.com/mothereel

This is really cool. Poor Bouzouki, the sounds truly tortured. Really nice use of space and dynamics and such.

Thanks smile Kinda wishing that I'd recorded it just a bit louder so the subtleties of the first half are easier to hear. But I didn't have it in me to go back and change anything. It'll do for this week smile

the first time you scratch it, awh! almost hurts. it reminded me that i liked to extremely loosen my guitar string and bang on it.

smile Go, loosen those strings! Bang! smile

oh, and i actually will smile
my weekly#07 will have haiku lyrics and awfully detuned nylon guitar and bass. at least in one part of a song. thanks to you smile

Yay!! big_smile
