released July 29, 2019

These 7 pieces are solo improvisations taken from two live concerts, both recorded in Amsterdam in De Ruimte and in OCCII. Both sets were one continuous piece and I haven't removed any of the music from either set, but divided them into separate tracks at points that seemed to me like natural endings during the performance. The song titles are mostly taken from a book I’m reading at the moment called “Surveillance Capitalism” by Shoshana Zuboff. A terrifying and exciting read that has shaken up my ideas about convenience at the expense of privacy and where this is taking us.

In both performances ...I use no pedals except a small pre-amp to boost the low end and slightly saturate the sound. I'm not purist about pedals ..I mention it because there are thousands of insane weird pedals out there but I never found one that sounded as good the guitar itself through an amp …so any effects you hear on these recordings come from objects I use on the strings and fretboard. There is one track called Marta named after the incredible singer Sebestyen Marta, whose voice you hear singing coming from a cassette through the speaker of a walkman played through my pick up. Hope you enjoy !!!! - Andy Moor
