8:30pmBruce Anderson - solo acoustic guitar

Bruce's archtop style reflects his obsession with 
Morton Feldman who he considers the greatest composer
of the twentieth century.
He'll throw in his love for wind chimes and Japanese
koto music with a unique system of modular note cells.

In terms of contemporary improvisation there has to be
an alternative to jazz and European free style -
"Although Morty would probably roll over in his grave
to hear himself linked to any concept of improv I
think he is the key to a very fertile kingdom of
aesthetic permission." Bruce Anderson

Guitarist Bruce Anderson is a founder of art-rockers
MX-80 Sound, who later changed its name to MX-80. He
was also a member of that group's offshoots, O-Type
and the Gizzards. Anderson co-founded MX-80 Sound in
Indiana in the mid-'70s, along with bassist Dale
Sophiea and drummer Jeff Armour. Flying the banner of
Beefheartean weirdness, the group put out several
releases during the remainder of the '70s and into the
early '80s. When MX-80 dissolved for a time, Anderson
kept busy with O-Type and the Gizzards, ventures in
which Sophiea joined him. Sophiea also played a
valuable role in Anderson's solo work, producing
Anderson's albums of densely layered guitar
experimentation and Robert Fripp-like improvisation.
Anderson's 1995 full-length album Brutality collected
tracks from his two late-'80s cassette releases and
also featured some new material. Meanwhile, the
members of MX-80 had reunited in 1987, remaining
active well into the '90s. ~ Erik Hage, All Music
Guide
======================================================

Rob Price - guitar) and David Grollman - drums (NY)
"eerie yet thunderous" and "droning, near silence" we
take on "gradually building constructs that allow for
sparkling tension and release, such as on tracks like
'Decomposing' that whispers and progressively boils." 
- Signal to Noise

"Rob Price takes to altering his guitar sound with
electronic effects, but not with rock and roll fire.
Through the use of reverb and loops, he creates a
controlled series of pieces in duet with David
Grollman's drum kit. The pattern is to start with
delicacy, even near silence and then let the music
develop ominously into a grander scheme, sometimes a
bit industrial, often with a bit of a soundtrack feel.
But PriceÕs effects are always harnessed to an
understandable esthetic structure, so the music feels
controlled, meditative, and never rambling, even when
it gets loud. Grollman does not alter his drum kit, so
we are anchored too by recognizable percussion sounds.
All of this makes [the CD] a rewarding experience." -
