Artists: Dave Stafford and Bryan Helm (Bindlestiff)
Comments: From 1991-1993 these are among the first Bindlestiff recordings. Making the change to electric loop based music from live guitar duets is documented in these studio works. My favorite track is “Ariel Adrift” on which I play my Ovation in NST against Dave’s E-bow work. Another fave is ‘dos vedanya,tanya” which is a live in studio piece with Dave and I playing an electric guitar duet.
