Margarida Garcia, Thurston Moore

*LP limited edition of 299 copies* Thurston Moore, electric guitar. Margarida Garcia, electric double bass. 'With Sonic Youth on hold, Thurston Moore has time to venture out into the world of improvised music and plays around a lot. The instruments are the electric guitar for Moore and the electric double bass for Garcia. The electricity brings a certain 'body' to the proceedings, which makes it easy to play a bit more loudly than one would perhaps expect. Moore and Garcia don't play noise, but at the same time it's also not a very quiet and introspective recording. They will show you around in different places and spaces that belong to their world of improvisation. Meaning the guitar sounds like a guitar and the bass like a bass, topped with electronic effects, maybe a bow or two on each of these instruments, ending on a contemplative note towards the end of side B. Here the instruments are used the way they are (almost) intended, and as such perhaps this is part of a more conventional improvised space.

Who cares ? It was a great ride. Bumpy but lovely.' FdW ion Vital 933.
