A music essentially based on
repetition, the use of electric guitars that are out of tune or
alternatively tuned and coupled with an eternal delay / loop, allows
combinations and the interweaving of infinite sources; the specificity
of the trilogy of the « Pièces pour guitare
préparée » being that it incorporates the hazardous
factor that is linked to improvisation.
In this third and last volume, the melodies created by the
interweaving of complementary patterns are more aerial and less dark
than ever before. A record for Spring, this volume opens with gasping
acoustic guitar motifs (« Do it like Steve does… »).
The usual aerial parts find an echo here with two improvised themes
that are developed in a gentle way (« Echosystem ! »,
« Myself and nobody else »), the latter being nothing but a
very early version of what was to become the song “Necessary
alibis”, but here complete with odd human beatbox et all...
This volume closes with three rather hypnotic pieces,
composed of soundscapes which succeed in blending impressions of
well-being and disquiet, comprising crazy guitar slaughtering and an
obsessive spoken-word monologue with universal social content: «
We must have some money to save us from eating dirt ! »
