Episode #2272

Innovative Deviations

« previous episode | next episode »

Wednesday, February 16, 2005

On this edition of New Sounds, there's a load of new music for guitar. Classically trained, but just as likely to give a nod to Prince and/or Black Sabbath, Dominic Frasca is a guitarist who makes his own instruments so as not to be confined to just 6 strings. Hear "Dark Age Machinery", and the title track from his latest CD release, "Deviations". Then there's also music by Forastiere, who, like Michael Hedges, uses tapping, muting, and alternate tunings to great effect. Plus, hear selections from the most recent John Fahey collection and a tune by Michael Hedges as well.
