Installation/Sound Environment


Comment

An electric guitar sent through a fuzz & distortion box is de-tuned and re-tuned at high volume, creating sustained and distorted feedback sound. The strings are eventually de-tuned to the point where they dangle loosely and are then tightened by manually pulling them across the guitar pick-ups, so that the pick-ups become the bridge for the strings.
