-----Original Message----- From: Claude Voit Yeah I sent 5 or 6 CDs to LD members all around the world for review and got NO fucking review Thanks guys Claude And I replied shamefully-- Claude sent me TWO CDs so i guess I'd better put some blinking time into it-- However, the rest of you can feel free . . . Oh heck, here's the short version! *Ahem* Claude Voit's See What? is a collection of solo recordings made in the studio but utilizing no conventional overdubbing. All of the multitracking is done live, the same way you would experience it in a concert setting, using the latest electronic technology. These 11 tunes encompass a wide range of styles, from folk to jazz to world beat, featuring Claude playing acoustic and synthesizer guitar. Claude uses the Echoplex Digital Pro, a piece of gear that enables him to capture his live playing and fashion it into compositions. The first piece, Ipoulkapek, for example, starts with a simple six note motif that becomes a full blown dance number 2 and a half minutes into the recording. The rest of the collection is filled with adventurous and playful moments. Walking Ben, the fifth track is a Travis-style guitar piece that actually starts with the sound of a guitar pick being scraped along a wound string percussively. This short sample becomes the foundation for a rather sprightly and much more mellow trip to the country. Rever devant le plongeoir, the third track, has a "Spaghetti Western" feel; El Faro, number six, starts with backward guitar, makes a feedback excursion and becomes a medium tempo techno track, and Zamazama, the eighth tune, has an African flavor. This CD is well recorded and a great showcase for the talents of Mr. Voit. It would be quite a treat to actually experience this live to "See What" he's doing to create this rich tapestry of sound. That's all for now--sorry it took so long, Claude. So where's the next CD (just KIDDING) gARY
