Scott Fields - guitar
Elliott Sharp - guitar

Although the Sharp-Fields duo has a sound all its own, under the surface you can sense traces of “New Music,” minimalism, free jazz, and blues. For this performance, the two composer-instrumentalists focus on the interactions of two electric guitars, as they played on their most recent release, Akra-Kampoj, on New Atlantis Records. Both of the musicians have long been interested in composition, improvisation, and borders between them. That’s why, without discussing “rules” for the project, Sharp and Fields each packed their compositions for the duo with a mixture or conventional notation, graphic notation, and structures for improvisation.
