SUCHY, JOSEPH - CANOEING INSTRUCTIONAL (CD)

"Packaged in a gorgeous fold-out digipak, this artifact has an intensely detailed flavour. Unique stringed instrument improvisations, slowly mixed in with sampled loops of the same sounds. Suchy supposedly spent a year developing this work, and you can hear the effort. "This release is a the result of a new project by the Cologne-based guitarist Joseph Suchy. Joseph was invited to make a musical piece from 'Harfe' a recent art work by Berlin based artist Kirsten Pieroth. 'Harfe' is a 5.40 m. wooden canoe, that has been transformed into a stringed instrument. The recordings were rebuilt by Joseph Suchy and are an intense and colourful work." (label info)
