Barrage

OKCD Presents:
Barrage

We are proud to present John Stevens' album, Barrage, an album of heavily processed solo electric guitar with soundscapes that tend toward the alien.

The timbral-based pieces on John Stevens' album are all performed solo on electric guitar with a multitude of processed effects, feedback, and imaginative gestures. Each totally inhabits a different universe. The music has the liveliness of improvisation, but a formal strength more often associated with composed music.

Stevens' music compels comparison to musique concrète, but owes as much to Jimi Hendrix as to Pierre Henry and Pauline Oliveros. The music is surprising, dramatic, and develops in unexpected ways.
