Bio / Background
Desert Winds is an album of Seth Austen's original compositions for acoustic and MIDI acoustic guitar. Seth's compositions encompass diverse styles, from Hedges inspired two-handed tapping on the title cut Desert Winds, to ECM acoustic jazz on Waiting, to avant garde, guitar-synth gone haywire of The Computer Is Down. Most of the pieces are duets or trios with Seth's acoustic guitar always in the foreground.
Seth is joined by co-producer Freyda Epstein, violin and voice; also special guests Ralph Gordon, acoustic bass and cello; Madeline MacNeil, hammered dulcimer and voice; Bob Read, soprano sax and piano; Tom Espinola on frame drums; and Tom Jones on percussion and brake drums.
"Balances the rich timbres of the acoustic steel stringed guitar with a lush ensemble and the extended sonic possibilities of guitar synthesizer. Seth solos against an ever changing drone, the effect is an almost palpable breathing as the composition unfolds.
