Alan Sparhawk

Abstract guitar vignettes that mimic the movement of weather and machinery. A stark, wordless departure into ambient drone and nautical soundscapes.

Moments Worth Listening For
The seventeen-minute slow-motion drift of track 4 where the guitar mimics the low-frequency thrum of a massive ship engine.
The sudden, distorted deconstruction of Eddie Van Halen's iconic solo, stripped of its virtuosity and turned into a haunting texture.
The way the second attempt at Sagrado Corazón de Jesú stretches a simple motif into a thirteen-minute meditation on resonance.
