IAN YEAGER
- music for guitar + computer - PR90273
music for guitar + computer is Bay Area guitarist/composer/improvisor Ian
Yeager's solo debut release. Gently hovering between composition and
decomposition, Yeager thoughtfully explores and deconstructs his guitar over
14 tracks, forming a sparse and evocative set of theme and variation.
Melodies merge and collide into sparking electronic abstraction and dusky
sonic detail. Suffused with a quiet rigor and beauty, music for guitar +
computer is ambient in the best possible sense, a compelling, architectural
soundworld which engages but does not intrude.
