On these disks, Denver-based acoustic guitarist Janet Feder furthers her exploration on the instrument, and teams up with another of the world's most respected guitarists, Mr. Fred Frith. A whole gamut of strange techniques, musical strategies, beautiful tunings and ambiences are employed; The outcome is sure bliss for fans of modern, instrumental music. Part avant-garde, part classical, part folk, in fairly equal proportions, this approach has never before been attempted with such striking success. The DVD portion is separated into 2 segments: Janet's videos were beautifully shot and edited by Hollywood film-maker David Quinn, in a professional studio as she played live. Each track is presented in a different setting to embellish the diverse performances. Fred's video is one, longish improvised session from a recent concert in Boulder, Colorado, also professionally filmed and edited by Quinn. Fred abandoned his electric guitar in lieu of his Taylor acoustic for the event, bringing his playing into a new realm, while still managing to put his many toys (bowls, chains, brushes, dowls etc.) to good use.

Reviewer: (, )

If you had told me two years ago that Janet Feder would team up with Fred Frith to produce an album of prepared guitar works, I would have accused you of wishful thinking. But here it is, two of my all-time favorite guitarists, pretty much in a league by themselves, joining forces on some wonderful compositions. If you liked Fred Frith's prepared guitar works, you will really like this. If you like Janet Feder's first two CD's you will really like this. If you are like me and recognize these two artists as the premier prepared-guitar artists, you will be really happy you got your hands on this CD. The DVD is also terrific.
