音楽に挑戦
Athens, Georgia, guitarist Shane Parish isn’t one to shy away from a challenge (he transcribed the whole of Bill Orcutt’s Music for Four Guitars and plays as one of the Orcutt quartet), and his output is always something special, as 2024’s Repertoire, another album demanding some serious arrangement work, demonstrated. However, for his latest album, Autechre Guitar, he takes on the music of English electronic duo Autechre, an outfit known for its unconventional time signatures and experimental approach, which is a tricky task, to say the least.
Seemingly unwilling to disappoint his wife, who is a big fan of Autechre’s music, Shane set out to re-imagine and arrange ten of the band’s songs, all taken from their 1990s output. Of course, one option would have been to plug an electric guitar into a mighty effects board and loop station and start layering sound to achieve something like the intricate electronic patterns Rob Brown and Sean Booth created as Autechre, but Shane Parish doesn’t need to do this. Being a highly technical and experienced guitar player familiar with adapting a variety of musical styles to his own methods, Shane went down the ultra-minimalist route (the choice of album artwork is telling) and played the lot solo on his Taylor acoustic.
