Campanologie by Frederic L Epee
This album is the result of the experimentations I have carried out about and around the composition of my piece for electric guitar quartet, Etude Campanologique n°3.
It is the parallel album to the compositions album The Empty Room.
I use, besides normal play on natural harmonics, a bottleneck operated with the right hand, notes being plucked and tapped with the left hand, creating "bell like" complex harmonics patterns.
Among a rather big amount of recordings and improvisations, I selected a few of them that I found proper to further developments and elaborated these nine « frames » pieces.
