PEOPLE PLEASER (LP)

Black Truffle 027 LP

Info:

Black Truffle Presents People Pleaser, The New Lp From Nantes-based Drummer And Percussionist Will Guthrie. Initially Rising To Prominence In Australia As A Drummer In The Fields Of Jazz And Improvised Music, Guthrie Later Turned Increasingly Toward Electronics And Amplified Percussion, Developing An Idiosyncratic Style Of Electro-acoustic Performance Characterized By Shimmering Metallic Textures, Rapid-fire Textural Transformations And Aggressively High Volume. Recent Years Have Seen A Return To The Drum Kit In Both Solo And Collaborative Work, In Performances Where Guthrie Uses Duration And Endurance To Push At The Limits Of His Formidable Technical Abilities As A Player In The Free Jazz Tradition, Working Variations On Short Rhythmic Units Into An Endless Flow Of Non-metered Pulse.
