Named "Guitar Hero of 2005" by Guitar Player Magazine, Dominic
Frasca is blasting open the guitar world with his outrageous
virtuosity. His recent breakthrough of Steve Reich's Electric
Guitar Phase on Nonesuch Records brought him to the public
ear. Now, with his first solo disc, Frasca redefines guitar
technique and brings the instrument into an entirely new
universe.
Deviations finds Frasca playing on multiple-string guitars of
his own creation, at times building specific instruments for
one track. Resembling an orchestra of sonic guitars, his
complex, intricate, and beautiful music is made completely
live with Frasca's multitasking mastery (you won't believe
that there are no overdubs!). As he taps, picks, and pulls the
strings, hitting blocks of wood against the guitar body,
Frasca never ceases to reinvent the instrument.
