Kevin Drumm
Kevin Drumm, born in 1970 and raised near Chicago, is a guitarist and electronic musician who has moved from the quietest improvisation to some of the harshest noise on record. He began with prepared tabletop guitar, distorting the instrument with magnets, binder clips, chains, a violin bow and even toenail clippers, and his self-titled debut of 1997 is a landmark of that approach.

Particles and smears
Grainy flickering, strangulated buzzing, blurred sonic shadows and harsh stridulations. Chicagoan Drumm continues to rethink the electric guitar in terms that suggest the microscopic life of ponds, and he deploys electronics along similar lines. Cana…
