Rhys Chatham - Guitar Trio

postpunk:

Here’s some no wave New York obscuro. I saw two references to Rhys Chatham’s 1978 “Guitar Trio” as I read up on Glenn Branca the other day. Basically, Chatham took a bunch of guitars and had them play the same thing over and over until the great mess made great sounds. By way of trivia, Branca played in the “Guitar Trio” ensemble.

One of my favorite posts, simply because it epitomizes the process: Read up on music I love, track down that obscure reference, buy the song (hopefully) and help it become much less obscure.
