Brandon Seabrook - Guitars & Banjos & Tapes
“Brandon Seabrook is a New York City-based guitarist and banjoist. His music fuses a wide range of practices and traditions: punk rock, jazz, pop, and metal. As a guitarist his work feeds off tactile sensations: rapid tremolo picking, contorted clusters, and extreme physicality. His ensemble music leans on a wide range of variance: jump cuts, chance, improvisation, humor, and tight segues. He has led a diverse range of groups including Seabrook Power Plant, Die Trommel Fatale, Epic Proportions, and the Brandon Seabrook Trio with Cooper-Moore and Gerald Cleaver.
Object of Unknown Function arrives ten years after Seabrook’s last solo venture, the blistering Sylphid Vitalizers, which Noisey hailed as a “dissonant guitar army...(with) mind-blowing prog-rock complexities – all at mind-numbing breakneck speed.” The new album encapsulates a decade of evolution, taking Seabrook’s practice into diverse new directions. While it is undoubtedly a solo album, the pieces are hardly limited to a single player on a single instrument, at times layering a half-dozen or more banjos or guitars with ambient and percussion sounds from cassette tapes.”
