The striking cover image of an abandoned swing illuminated against a field of glittering stars makes a compelling visual metaphor for the music on Close. InchMusic is a twilight language,Inch Steve Tibbetts confirms. InchThe job is to translate some shadow into sound.Inch On his 11th ECM , the Minnesotan guitarist resumes the quest, slowly developing his yearning improvised melodies over layered loops and drones and darkly rumbling percussion. If the sound colors, including distorted electric guitar and sparkling 12 string acoustic, make this music of the west, it's gradual, almost hypnotic unfolding continues to suggest eastern affinities. InchI am still reaching for the evocative sound of Sultan Khan,Inch says Tibbetts, speaking of the late Indian sarangi master whose playing has long been among his major influences. Album Tracks 1.
