Gutted Matrix - improv

Erik Spangler

A live improvisation on material drawn from an older composition of mine for solo guitar, “Gut Matrix”. In this performance from a Purple City Players concert at Maryland Institute College of Art in November 2010, Ben Beirs played the live guitar part. I performed live electronics mixing samples from a cassette recording of the earlier piece (with drum pad controller and turntable in Max For Live), along with processing of the live guitar through a Kaoss Pad.
