Annette Krebs (plus Taku Sugimoto)

Annette Krebs is a classically trained German guitarist of a totally unique (if unfailingly modern) approach to tabletop guitar playing. All sorts of small objects come into contact with her instrument, summoning the inner hum, buzz and electric resonances of the instrument. Clumsily put, maybe the feminine opposite of Keith Rowe? (a role she is either moving out of, or accepting, as her recent performances find her using more dynamic, radio sources and noise, though her touch on the guitar is just as delicate). Her recorded output is very small, but flawless.

"Guitar Solo" (Fringes Recording, 2002)

Eight very delicate, very quiet solos. No hype.
