Guitarist Sarah Louise's Experiments in Drone-Folk




Soundcheck show

Summary: <p>North Carolina based composer and guitarist <a href="https://sarahlouise.bandcamp.com/album/nighttime-birds-and-morning-stars" target="_blank">Sarah Louise</a> is also one-half of the duo House and Land. Her music evokes forests and creeks and frogs, and when she’s on a 12-string acoustic guitar, combines both drone and folk (somewhat reminiscent of the fingerpicked styles of “American Primitive” guitar (think John Fahey, Jack Rose, Gwenifer Raymond, or Glenn Jones). She’s also recently released an album, <em>Nighttime Birds and Morning Stars,</em> built around improvisations on electric guitar, which were then processed and edited into gorgeous soundscapes that seem to represent natural environments (perhaps in a way similar to composer <a href="https://www.newsounds.org/story/piano-manipulator-and-producer-kelly-moran-instudio/">Kelly Moran</a>'s prepared piano and processing.) Sarah Louise and drummer Thom Nguyen join us to perform some completely new music in-studio.</p> <p><em>Set list: </em></p> <ul> The Woods Are Full of Birds Again If You Build A Pond The Frogs Will Come Brightening Air </ul> <p>  </p>
