From the electrical entrance to the fragile departure,
Derek Monypeny
's
Cibola
is a continued exploration/distillation of the approach and methodology that Monypeny first introduced on
The Hand As Dealt
. The 15-string Indian electric banjo known as the shahi baaja again features prominently, and many of the tracks could be called "drone-based." The sound melds something new without the absence of the reference material, but Monypeny also wanted to expand further.
Cibola
marks the first time he has ever had drums on any of his solo records; his dear friend, the brilliant San Francisco-based percussionist and sound artist
Kevin Corcoran
, sent him a complete drum track and he played shahi baaja and guitar over it. The result is "Nala Gem," where Monypeny and Corcoran explore quasi-Southeast Asian bell tones, dynamics, and heavy wash. And Monypeny ends the record with "A Tin Tear Drop," where he introduces an electric autoharp, which he plays using mallets to create a multiphonic, glowing Fabrege sound-egg. Monypeny has recorded a companion piece to this record that 2182 has pressed in limited quantities available directly through mail order.
Remote Duets
is a seven-inch consisting of two open-source percussion tracks performed and recorded by
Ted Byrnes
in Los Angeles, CA. Derek Monypeny is a Joshua Tree, CA-based guitarist/multiinstrumentalist who has played in the bands
ALTO!
,
Oaxacan
, and
Sir Richard Bishop
's
Freak Of Araby Ensemble
