about

1006 and Resonance

To my ears, the feeling that the Wandelweiser genre seems to capture best is the essence of music, what it IS, its fundament, the primordial ooze. Towards this end, I have collected rarely performed or recorded solo electric guitar works from Pisaro, Frey, Beuger, Houben, and Crane.

Bach's third violin partita (BWV 1006) is the very first piece of music that I fell deeply in love with, and lives in my head permanently.
In playing Bach, the classical guitar is always trying to find ways of being more resonant. I find this path outright boring, so I have recorded the entire partita on the electric guitar using as much note sustain as possible by sitting as close as I can to a large amplifier. This technique creates an immense amount of sustain and resonance that produces some typically frowned-upon harmony that I find extremely refreshing.

Though it is not factually the case, and this is maybe because of the genius myth of Bach or how it came to me at an early age, it feels as though the piece was born directly, perfectly, from this beautiful elemental substance of which Wanderweiser consists. 1006 and Resonance is my love letter to that idea and these two musics which I carry with me at all times.

Thank you to Cat, Mel, Atticus, Rohan, Cameron, Ken, The Undercroft, and the amazing group of composers that generously lent their time to give me feedback and notes.

Mostly slow, mysterious, strange, two simple musical lines cross and uncross in an apparently infinite variety of combinations, creating all sorts of illusions and confusions. Beautiful, engaging, and leaves me wanting more. Giles
