Traveling with Electronics : Preaching to the Guitar Choir 

Don't let them get comfortable, push them, we've

got to move this music forward.....Butch Morris

 

 

Butch told me that during our final conversation. I was telling him, that after 15 years conducting Out Of Context (http://jadeane.com/out-of-context ), my mixed - acoustic / electric Conduction Ensemble, I was going to change up the instrumentation and do an Electric Guitar Choir (you can find the back story here http://jadeane.com/blog/thu-09082011-1357 ). 6 Electric Guitarists 2 Electric Percussionists 1 Conductor. The sonic resources of the electric guitar combined with the real-time compositional fluidity of Conduction is Pure Magic. I anticipate by the end of 2013 (when we come out of the shed), the Out Of Context Electric Guitar Choir will take your head off.
