Probably nobody is interested anymore. However, I finally got a few lines of print in Cadence magazine and I'm not unaccountably pleased with that (despite the fact that what they wrote is smallish and contains a sort of "backhanded compliment" at the end). I almost didn't send them a CD in the belief that what I do really wouldn't be "avant-garde" enough for them anyway. Sounds like they'd agree -- but give me points for "enthusiasm" anywho (which is totally fine by me). Brief blurbette to follow: +++++++++++++++++++ Jason Bivens, Cadence Magazine, February 2002 "Ted Killian plays solo guitar on "Flux Aeterna" but the sound is rich and full owing to his generous use of delay devices and effects pedals. This music . . . is atmospheric in the extreme, filled with ethereality and almost psychedelic textures. Killian has clearly listened to players like Christy Doran, Loren Mazzacane Connors, Steve Tibbetts, Robert Fripp and Terje Rypdal - that list should give you a good idea of where he's coming from. He loves searing guitar improvs over various backdrops. With a white hot tone – super trebly and always threatening to spill over into raw feedback – Killian alternates between Hendrixian fantasies and paranoid digital sounds, with occasional high lonesome plucking. He might not be up to anything original but I found it hard to deny Killian's energy and exuberance." +++++++++++++++++++ Hmmmm...while I don't happen to know much of anything about Christy Doran or Loren Mazzacane Connors, they're pretty spot on with the other 3. Anybody wanna fill me in on Doran and Connors before I go looking them up on the web? Best, Ted Killian
