press release - Split Series #15
The fifteenth split 12" in the series thus far, Fennesz v Main presents two complementary artists immersed in the digital music domain yet still very much rooted in instrumental events and physical activity. Both artists are noted for their consistent high quality and abilities to find genuine new potential for the guitar through techniques of sampling and digital reconstruction. With a nod to the astonishing Rolling Stones and Beach Boys re-inventions on his "Fennesz Plays" 7", and last year's beautifully atmospheric and emotional 'Endless Summer', Fennesz's 3 tracks roll out a series of overlapping, shimmering melody-waves. On the other side, Main's colder, alien soundscapes utilise guitar, bowed cymbals and piano frame as sound sources.
