Luigi Archetti / Bo Wiget: Low Tide Digitals III

Read "Low Tide Digitals III" reviewed by David McLean

Ambiguous and tenebrous, hypnotic and ethereal, the third installment of guitarist Luigi Archetti and violinist Bo Wiget's Low Tide Digital series is a profoundly human synthesis of the electro and acoustic. Each of the fourteen “Stück" pieces is a vital voyage into the melding of natural and digital timbres. The duo fully explores and stretches the possibilities of their chosen instrumentation, mostly beyond any definable recognition, into an otherworldly synthetic sea that bubbles with tension, elegance and, importantly, humanity.
