Mr Orcutt pours his white hot molten guitar tone into the musical mold of many a melody’s joyous filigree. His work could crown the brow of Dionysus and Apollo both. If development in the minimalism of Glass unfolds ‘horizontally’ by gradations across time, Orcutt generates variety within repetition ‘vertically’ by overlaying to produce emergent properties.

It’s funny, I only recently became aware of Bill Orcutt via thee algorithm of YouTube, and had the same thought - “this NPR Tiny Desk Concert is great, but at 12 minutes it’s barely a taste, I wanna hear a whole show…” and then suddenly REPRESS! It’s like a spiritual algorithm or something ;) phantom_harlock
