The guitar is wildly spatialized, and the electronics intermingle with it, manipulatin…

…at results in something just that little bit weirder with each iteration. [compare examples A and B] I am greatly indebted to Catherine Sikora and Josh Sinton for doing the heavy lifting, and turning my barebone sketches and speculations into music; for engageing intelligently, adventurously and imaginatively with the context at hand.

Coxhill seems to be having a lot of fun here, rubbing against the other’s ideas, or at times suggesting completely different areas for exploration.
