Detailierte Künstler Informationen: Greg Malcolm

Malcolm has introduced a poetic new vocabulary into into the lexicon of acoustic guitar playing" - Edwin Pouncey / The Wire
Greg Malcolm is one of those artists who plays in a league of his own. Since the start of his musical career, now more then 10 years ago, Malcolm has composed, performed and recorded music for short films, theatre, produced radio art works for Radio New Zealand. Malcolm started his solo guitar project in 1999. For that project he developed his own guitar, which took him over 2 years building it. The guitar has pick-ups attached in such a way as to enable him to turn up sounds that are generally avoided such as guitar body noise, the sound of the string vibrating towards the nut, scrapes, etc... In addition to the rebuild guitar, he also uses 2 floor guitars. One is played by his foot and is used for percussion, the other one is played with an e-bow or several mini-fans to create drones and extra noises. Playing all 3 guitars at once Malcolm creates a hypnotic sound of evolving melodies, built upon layered drones.
