    BATTLE AXE was released shortly before my early March 2020 tour from Detroit to NYC and back. My improvisational approach differs from my usual multiphonic guitar work. I use the same Instrument, but instead of performing it flat on its back with several pickups, I play the guitar in standard position as most guitarists do. The guitar does use its 2 pickups in standard placement in true stereo. Front Cover photo: Edward Quist

about

this is a steering away from two decades of Ben Miller / degeneration, which featured guitarscape abstactions. While this music is still abstact, the playing is more like what one would expect from an electric guitar.
