Marco Oppedisano – Electroacoustic Compositions For Electric Guitar
Composed by New York City guitarist Marco Oppedisano between 1999-2005 and released on CD in 2007, these 12 tracks of rich guitar drones and feedback mine sonic minerals similar to those stored on Lee Ranaldo’s solo albums. Through extensive processing, sounds like whipping wind, ticking clocks and metallic percussion were derived from nothing but guitar and electric bass samples (and vocal samples on one track). Occasional squiggly electronic outbursts and noisy feedback stab through all the warm fuzzies. Simple, repetitive fingerpicking and, surprisingly, brief heavy metal riffs and sweet licks also find their way into the mix. Sometimes, the resultant sounds are reminiscent of old school musique concrete. Fans of that genre, as well as drones and noise, are sure to enjoy this dandy disc.
