Guitar Therapy ℗ & © 2012 A.J. Ptak

This sound of theremin artist Anthony Ptak. Liner notes: Guitar Therapy (2012) [2:24] This electric guitar work concentrates on jazz improvisation as a carrier of information. We listen to the world as a system of associative indices. The field recordings of the street drummer in Washington Square Park are analyzed, along with post-cancer disability and neurological phenomena. Spasticity is a physical axis that occupies and transforms space. The heterophony of the guitar is navigation. Sonic materials acquired, performed, improvised, recorded and assembled by the composer. A therapeutic struggle to control my affected left hand. - AJ Ptak
