{"product_id":"wesely-drew-blank-body-cd","title":"Wesely, Drew - Blank Body (CD) |","description":"Blank Body is an intermedia audiovisual work by Drew Wesely. The material drawn from improvisations on prepared guitar and other objects, Blank Body explores the possibilities the recorded medium affords such as physically impossible musical transitions and binaural spatialization, yet is imbued with the vitality of a live performance. The accompanying vellum art book provides a visual analog as photographs, shapes, and textures emerge from and return to non-existence as the semi-transparent pages are turned like individual frames of a film. \n\nShimmering harmonics, string noise, and feedback dance in hypnotic counterpoint immersing the listener in a vivid sonic environment. Blank Body examines fundamental assumptions of the guitar as a sound making object. Playing the guitar with a cello bow and other objects as well as including the pickup and amplification systems as integral parts of the instrument itself opened up a rich potential for polyphony, percussive textural relationships, and a music more centered around timbre and touch emerged. This gave a more immersive feeling to the music, like a series of sonic spaces that are inhabited by the listener rather than listened to.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Infrequent Seams Records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatalog Number: CD-IS-1048\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wesely, Drew","offers":[{"title":"- ALT\/INDIE *NEW*","offer_id":45077131001971,"sku":"XQVMU5-XKHC-RM","price":32.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/alt-indie-new_DxYi7.jpg?v=1780862079","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/wesely-drew-blank-body-cd","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
