Arthur Magazine, May 2004 BULL TONGUE Review of picturedisc |
 |
|
| "But perhaps the most amazing record this time out is the picture disk LP, Iconic Distortions by THE GUITAR PROJECT (BoxMedia). Hamshire College grad Jenny Sheppard (also a member of Bride of No No and Metalux) was doing investigative art work with elderly women, some of them suffering from Alzheimer's Disease when she decided to lead six of them in an experiment in improvisational guitar. And it is nothing short of astounding. Rhythmic, minimal, flowing and wild, the pieces here are immediately stripped of any novelty aspect by their sheer beauty and otherness. This could easily be the work of several avant garde composers and like all such works, really raises a lot of questions about technique and art in the post-Duchamp's universe. Easily the best LP by a Hampshire grad since Orchid Spangiafor's Flee Past's Ape Efl, and that's saying something!"
