Album Notes

Molotov Arc is an ensemble of changing personnel dedicated to experimental music. Previous recordings employed bells, power tools, laptop computers, assorted surgical instruments, a lathe, and fire-damaged parlor instruments such as zithers and ukelins, using a variety of microtonal tuning schemes. Field recordings were known to wander in and out absentmindedly. On this new release, "hit that long lulu note," guitarist G. James is featured on four extended originals that alternate from quiet melodic patterns to ominous drones, executed primarily on a bowed metal-bodied baritone guitar. The effect upon the listener is akin to walking through an aviary during a monsoon. Or rather, what fractals sound like.

In addition, G. James is a longtime photographer who designs all cover art, and each copy of this record is signed and editioned: unique, where no image is used twice.

The ensemble is also included in the SONUS Project at Concordia University, Montreal, and is regularly featured on Resonance 104fm in London, and WFMU in the New York Metropolitan area.

Simultaneously creepy and exhilarating.

If you're anywhere close to being an Electronic music junkie, don't even think twice about acquiring this album. Some of the most innovative, awe-inspiring electronic experiments to be heard by CD Baby ears yet. Showcasing a mind-titillating collection of ambient experimental pieces, primarily on a bowed metal-bodied baritone guitar, the forward-thinking sophistication of this expansive musicianship might be likened to pioneering composers of contemporary classical music such as John Cage or George Crumb. This music most definitely brings to mind fractals or mysterious unexplored depths of space. Simultaneously creepy and exhilarating.
