4.0 subtle distorted guitar drones (2008)

Glenn Ryszko · 2008 · 25 min

4.0 subtle distorted guitar drones is Glenn Ryszko's four-part study of processed guitar sound. The artist's broader practice includes instruments, environmental recordings and custom software, but this release's description specifically centers distorted guitar tones and changing dynamics. Its titles are simply “1.0,” “2.0,” “3.0” and “4.0,” matching the work's economical presentation. Resting Bell connects the project with Ryszko's shift toward solo experimental work after playing in groups. Release description and source notes
