JONES, MASON Midnight in the twilight factory

Description

Guitarist Mason Jones (SUBARACHNOID SPACE / TRANCE) has been active in the avant-garde and experimental guitar music scenes for over a decade. 'Midnight at the Twilight Factory' demonstrates a feel for texture which lies somewhere between ambient and noisy. Two of the tracks are purely solo guitar, recorded direct to DAT and then processed further during the mastering process. These are long, flowing pieces of psych-drone audio cinema. The other two pieces are recordings of live collaborations. One, recorded at the 1997 Monterey Rock Festival, is a duo with bassist Jason Stein. The other, recorded in San Francisco, features experimental guitarist Bill Horist and electric cellist Kevin Goldsmith. Very little of these recordings resembles what a listener will expect from an electric guitar, and that's precisely the point.
