Stuart Dempster – In the Great Abbey of Clement VI [USED LP] DIY / Lo-Fi / Pop The version of Strumming Music

The version of Strumming Music performed here condenses the developmental arc of the piece into eleven minutes

running the gamut from crazed polyrhythmic strumming (imagine Reinhardt and Grappelli playing Schoenberg and Nancarrow simultaneously) to what must be the fastest cello pizzicati ever recorded

Each song creates its own world

would become a contemporary of Erkki Kurenniemi

each collective developing the kind of near-telepathic levels of intuitive interplay that only friendship and hundreds of hours of gig-or-no-gig jamming make possible
