Bill Horist live

This Is a Process of a Still Life, Kawaguchi Masami, Bill Horist
(Funhouse) One of the busiest and most adventurous players in Seattle's underground-music scene, Bill Horist (Ghidra, Master Musicians of Bukkake) speaks a perplexing number of dialects with his guitar. His solo sets often feature him using an odd assortment of implements to alter the tunings of his instrument in order to make unprecedented sounds that redefine common notions of what's considered music. All in a night's work for Horist. Kawaguchi Masami—guitarist for LSD March, Miminokoto, and Broomdusters—is leader of Japanese group New Rock Syndicate. In this latest guise, Masami mixes heavy, distorted, squealing electric-guitar bombast with plangent, crystalline contemplativeness. Seattle-via-Missoula's This Is a Process of a Still Life patiently erect instrumental post-rock ziggurats that lift you out of the mundane. DAVE SEGAL
