Jon Durant - Crossings, album review


Spaced and Looped

The two guitarists – Jon Durant: fretless guitar, cloud guitar, effects / Stephan Thelen: electric guitar, e-bow, loops & effects – work together across the lockdown distances of Portland, Oregon, USA to Oberrieden, Switzerland and produce an atmospheric, electric ambience that reminds of Robert Fripp and David Gilmour (I’m sure there’s more but I hear these two). Its strength is obviously in the composition and playing, but the effects give it a spaced dimension across the pulses and loops.
