Beautiful beast

This is completely different than wendy/walter carlos switched on bach series. Some consider this CD as a classic in microtonal or alternate tuning compositions. It has been very hard to find for several years due to the original record label going bankrupt but has recently been re-issued
in an enhanced edition CD which you can buy at most music stores such as amazon etc.....

9. Godson Song

Recorded August 1982
ECM 1241

Personnel: Bill Frisell (acoustic & electric guitars); Arild Andersen (bass).Recorded at Talent Studio, Oslo, Norway on August 1982.This is the closest Bill Frisell has come to an actual solo album, though he is joined on half of the set by bass player Arild Andersen. Frisell's electric and acoustic guitars are multi-tracked throughout. The title piece uses light dissonances to especially shimmering and vibratory effect.IN LINE was produced by Manfred Eicher, whose customary pristine clarity makes an ideal setting for Frisell's subtly nuanced playing. Each of the nine pieces is distinct, but they also lend themselves to an over-arching feeling of connectedness. There is a real album identity to this work. Though quiet and meditative as both a guitarist and a composer, Frisell's style is broad enough to allow for a range of emotional settings--from introspective to celebratory.
