NYTimes On-Line 98-09-30:
With his group Carbon and other downtown jazz ensembles, the
experimental guitarist Elliott Sharp makes music that is dense,
intricate and often dissonant. On "Field and Stream," the second
disk from his group known as Techtonics, Sharp adds an additional
layer of complexity by incorporating the electronic programmings of
drum-and-bass. A British and European dancehall music that is at
once frenetic and bulky, drum-and-bass is an apocolyptic sound made
as much for listening as for dancing.
Along with the German digital programmer Frank Rothkamm and the
avant-garde harpist Zeena Parkins, Sharp creates a moving flow of
foreboding, otherworldly drum-and-bass pulsations, which are
interrupted by sudden outbursts of snare drum beats. Meanwhile,
Sharp wails and moans, clanks and crashes on his doubleneck
guitar-bass.
The cumulative effect is the musical equivalent of canoeing down a
pleasant stream before hitting a patch of rocks and gnarly roots.
It's difficult, but if one concentrates it's intensely pleasurable
as well.
Recorded and mixed at Studio zOaR, New York City -
Produced by Elliott Sharp.
