Guitars and Other Machines at the The Capstone Theatre Liverpool
On Friday 21st February, The Capstone is delighted to present Guitars and Other Machines. This exciting collaboration sees our very own outstanding classical guitarist and composer Neil Campbell joined by acclaimed electric guitarist Carlo Bowry and electronic composer and producer Gordon Ross.
Audiences at this very special performance will not only experience solo sets, in which the performers use delays and loop machines to build intricate layered compositions, but also classical guitar collide with experimental electronica and progressive rock.
The evening is also set to include a new arrangement of Philip Glass's beautiful Metamorphosis and an innovative original version of Steve Reich's multiple guitar classic Electric Counterpoint performed on classical guitar alongside spectacular projected visuals.
So join us at The Capstone for a night of creative compositions, inventive configurations and tradition with a twist.
"Two of my favourite Minimalist pieces given a fresh perspective. Deviating from its piano origins with a distinctive blend of fluid fingerpicking and wistful electric swells, Campbell and Bowry's guitar-driven Metamorphosis is a seductively mournful version of a timeless and hypnotic piece. As for Acoustic Counterpoint, it stands comparison with Pat Metheny's defining execution of Reich's thrilling composition and that's a significant achievement in itself." Tim Bowness, No-Man/Burning Shed.
“Neil Campbell is an outstanding guitarist whose originality of thought makes him far more than just another gifted purveyor of finger acrobatics.” Paul Fowles, Classical Guitar magazine.
