What can you do with one guitar and four guitar effect pedals? Well, you can make an album and release it. I think Dying in Space is Silas Price from Lowell, Massachusetts, but I’m not 100% sure. 002 is a session on a guitar where he recorded a soundscape/noise piece based on this simple setup. First, record a layer, then add another layer while improvising on what you hear from the first take. The result is one loud mother effin’ thing where so much happens that it is quite impossible to write a review. So yes, this will be the shortest review of all the Love Earth Music reviews this week.
The track has almost no ‘chord’ moments, and there is no ‘finger fast’ solo, but it generates many sounds which- combined with the effects – create a massive sound. At moments droney, at other moments erratic and sometimes completely un-guitaric (probably not a word, but I liked it too much to find a different term).
So it’s not a bad release because a lot is happening, and there is much to explore. And after listening to the 36-minute track, you hear the same track again but then reversed. This is a joy in itself because it sounds completely different, and it’s fun to hear what happens if the sustain of a sound in the first version gets reversed or what effect it has to hear a delay come towards you instead of it fading out after you hear the origin.
So yes: this one is short but fun!
