Comment:
Stephen Briggs used to create a swarm of seven compositions which can
be compared with such artists as Gaetano Fontanazza, and Drew Miller,
for instance. They are artists who employ their guitars in a way to
create meditative soundscapes and enchanting phases of mood. All
these artists come from very remote areas related to each other yet
their music is comprehensive in a sense. By listening to this issue
one could think of it as if it were created by employing electronic
devices like synths as well yet it is not so (the same I was thinking
mistakenly of the sound of Gaetano Fontanazza). Stephen Briggs
employs different sort of technical approaches to brush and vamp up
his sound, for instance, by moving chords back and forth and by
extending particular chords into the droning and manipulations
through phase changes. A main feature is to push electric guitar
induced chords are through reverb laden ambiances. Mostly it is
illustrated through light-hearted timbres though at times one can
hear more ominous threads to disturb the mix. Emotionally the result
is adeptly loaded. The spellbinding release is a part of the
discography of Sucu Music.
