"For his second Feeding Tube LP, following the superb solo outing
Orphic Resonance
(FTR 281LP, 2017),
Eric Arn
has chosen to team up with the Austrian shapeshifter
Margaret Unknown
(aka
Max Bogner
), for a set of acoustic guitar duets. Eric's history is well known via solo work, duets with
Tom Carter
, and hard psych playing from his pre-Vienna days with both
Primordial Undermind
and
Crystalized Movements
. We knew Margaret mostly for his work with
(In) The Abyssity of the Grounds
, who backed
Linda Sharrock
on her massive
Gods
3LP set (which should be a fixture in every home). Recorded live at the mo.ë space in Vienna, Paranza Corta (Italian for a Sicilian style knife fight) is far less of a combat situation than a deeply explored intersection of stringed logic. Without being able to tell who plays what (and although the tracks are named after various bladed weapons), the music here is a fight, in the sense that the opening scene of
West Side Story
is a fight. While choreographed only on a subliminal level, these two guys allow each other a lot of space to change directions, and almost seem to be working in tandem, so immediate are their reflexive actions. The heft of the interplay here recalls some of the nylon string collaborations
Eugene Chadbourne
did back in the Parachute days, although he wasn't big on guitar duets (at least on record). The playing here offers the same brilliant mix of organically achieved weirdness that can begin as a gentle outside motion, and then grow to devilish proportions without ever going too far. If there even is such a thing. If there is (and I acknowledge the possibility), the music on
Paranza Corta
does not go there. It's a brilliant tapestry of gesture, reaction and recontextualization. Of course, as I write those words, I begin to realize that maybe it is more like a knife fight than I'd thought. We should really ask
Russ Tamblyn
what he thinks." --
