ONITOR 055CD
|
Dealin with Signal and Noise is the fourth full-length album by Germany's Michael Lückner (aka Guitar, Digital Jockey), and his second for the Onitor label. On four tracks of the album he cooperates with the Japanese singer Ayako Akashiba (who also worked with him on 2006's Tokyo), and on three tracks he works with the Seattle-based guitar band Voyager One. A decided departure from Tokyo, with its serene koto plunkings and meditative pauses, Guitar has now decided to go the opposite direction into a psychedelic sea-of-guitars sound. Dealin with Signal and Noise is wilder, heavier -- and between the storm of noise and feedback you can hear sirens. But don't be afraid, the fishers around will not be killed and this storm, too, will pass.

MORR 032CD
|
2002 release. This much is known: Guitar, a culture junky relocated to the green void of the German Sauerland, requires neither introduction nor statement and uses this moniker with a healthy distance and dose of irony for his by now third musical project (besides majorly-distributed club hymns and his classically-influenced experimental output) to exhaustively experiment with guitar sounds. At the same time, with Sunkissed, he created an enthusiastic homage to My Bloody Valentine's Loveless period. A secret fan of the classic utopian thinkers, Guitar, too, explores the geography of expanses and shifting horizons in his output, keeping a distance to life while cherishing a fascination for even the smallest detail. He allowed the music of two years to boil down and evaporate, to reduce and grow again. Garnished with a generous portion of pop and lightened by the heavenly sighs of Donna Regina and Ayako from Tokyo, Sunkissed translates and transports its references into a euphoric presence.
