Blastula, The Nyc-Based Brainchild Of Composer John Myers, Makes Their Interplanetary Debut On Atavistic, And Offer Us Qualities Both Challenging & Refreshing: Avant-Classical Music Built Completely From Electric Guitars.
Though Rooted Totally In Guitar (No Rhythm Section), Blastula's Sound Is Reminiscent Of Chamber Music: Intimate, Sophisticated & Complex, But Sonically "Larger" Due To The Very Amplified Artillery
Deployed. As Glacial, Transcendant Peaks Build, Swell And Recede
It's Clear That The Purity Of Sound At Work In Of These Pieces Is Sure To Intrigue Fans Of Branca, Chatham, Glass & Lamonte Young. In His Recent Piece In The Village Voice, Critic Kyle Gann Prophetically Heralded This Burgeoning Genre:
"Composers (Writing For Massed Guitar)... Will Soon Pass From
Downtown Oddity To Acknowleged Classical Medium".
Blastula's Members Have All Done Time In Heavy-Duty Nyc Outfits Like The Branca Ensemble And Of Cabbages & Kings; Member Eric Hubel Has Also Recently Performed On A Big-League Film Soundtrack Composed By Helmet's Page Hamilton. More To The Point, These Cats Each Know What The Hell They'Re Doing With Those Six Strings.
