Thank You, Guitar

"Distortion invokes the resilience of the human being, a place where the self cannot be ignored. The electric guitar acts as medium: takes in our everything and sparks the gap transmuting anger and resentments into joy and dancing sound between left and right channels. At times using Boss DD5 Digital Delay, the guitar itself participates and what was solo becomes duet. Being able to hold a twisted, distorted visage in one's own two hands and mold it into relentless kindness is the only currency that will matter in the near and distant future. The electric guitar offers us an opportunity to learn how. Thank you, guitar.
