  • #2993: Singular Electric Guitars

    This New Sounds program showcases electric guitarists who have developed their own singular sound, usually in conjunction with electronics and processing.  We'll hear from the distinctive guitar hero Vernon Reid, longtime member of the band Living Colour as featured in a duo recording with none other than Bill Frisell.  There’s an arresting collection of various guitars, guitar synths, the occasional banjo riff - plus 1980's drum machines!  Then listen to a collaborative composition from David Torn, Elliot Sharp and Vernon Reid, along with soundscapes from both David Torn and Robert Fripp.
