Tiny Guitar

from Vandeventer by Sleet

/

about

Starts with a Morris pattern, Thom brings in some shimmering cymbal shots, then a staccato keyboard nails it further. A bass gradually hammers up into audibility and the keys dance over it. At 4m the guitar throws little ideas down, then the bass becomes a greater creative force while the keys keep up the bursts of tipping and tapping. At 6m a pattern emerges, and starts to shift softly into further patterns. At 7:30m a tiny pop song surfaces, to be swiftly swallowed by frantic piano 12 tone frenzies. At 9m a symphonic insistence begins to build, then clears away to dreamy bell tones in tense snatches. Simple melodies clear away a climax, and it dissolves to layers of simple patterns overlapping to form complexity from a multiplicity of pattern snatches. At 12:30m the bass soars up to authority and locks in with Thom’s drums. Then, the classic sound of Morris guitar explodes and stops and explodes again, to join in a crescendo with the bass, up high on the frets. A synth pattern sneaks into the fray. At 15m a rough consensus becomes tighter and tighter, then falls away to a guitar statement of urgency and passion. Jabs of synth pattern help dissolve the cohesiveness of the collective and each instrument slows until the dramatic and seemingly inevitable ending.
