Dream Tower Blueprints
"Dream Tower Blueprints" is the long-awaited first solo release by Har, self-described "software-crazed" multi-instrumentalist with Beta-Lactam Ring Records recording artists Christus & The Cosmonaughts.
In a departure from the epic "post-apocalyptic psychedelic art rock" of CaTC, "Dream Tower Blueprints" features a sonic voyage into one of Har's noted areas of expertise: long, evolving textured soundscapes created almost entirely from real-time performances on guitar and Chapman Stick (a 10-stringed instrument with a range extending between deep bass and guitar). Both instruments are "processed beyond recognition" while still retaining the subtle hand-played "organic" nuances that set it apart from synth-based performances. No MIDI or synths were used.
While some of the compositions on "Dream Tower Blueprints" were achieved using interactive looping techniques similar in concept to Robert Fripp's legendary Frippertronics, others...
