Music, I think, is unimpressed by the Cult of the Soulless Hand, the Church of Nepotic Alliances, and does not kneel at the Broken Obelisk of The Haughty Misanthrope. New instruments destroy habit and memory. New instruments develop and strengthen intuitive gesture and archetype. New instruments remove Ego and deepen listening. New instruments develop kinetic intelligence and teach hands techniques often applicable on other instruments. New instruments cement original melodies into my memory, and infer possible orchestration and future arrangement in other contexts.

about

ITIDS#27: Bret Hart/Greg Segal Vol I

"This was another entry in the series that I was particularly excited to hear, due to my having been immersed in a great deal of Greg's music lately (see reviews/interview this issue). Greg is a Portland, Oregon-based guitarist who had four albums on the SST label in the 1980's with his improv band Paper Bag, and more recently has released recordings by his duo improv project Jugalbandi.
I'm going to take a shot and guess that Bret is playing the slow-paced clattering percussive parts while Greg is playing the ambient guitar notes that opens the set. The focus throughout is on atmosphere and sound textures, as well as individual notes and phrases.
Greg is a guitarist who is equally adept at both ripping rock guitar and ambient textural playing, and we're treated to both on this set. Of course this provides plenty of fodder for Bret to throw in contrasting bits, which he serves up in healthy doses.
Ambient guitar, both meditative and aggressive, is accompanied by more abstract improv guitar to produce an enjoyable and always interesting combination. There's also some Frippoid guitar and rumbling acid-space work that gives a cosmic edge to the music, and waffles tentatively around the noise line, without ever crossing too far over it. A varied and interesting entry in the Duets series." - Jerry Kranitz
