Smith, Sean / Sacred Crag Dancer, Corpse Whisperer

Isota

AVAILABLE AGAIN!!! Solo guitarist SEAN SMITH’s second long player is a journey through the threading of song and exploration of his unique voice on the instrument. The "spontaneous compositions" contained in this album evoke imagery within the mind of the listener and are an invitation to his thoughts as they come to him. To say the least, it is a very powerful and personal experience. Smith chooses to let his acoustic guitar do the talking. And speak it does, in a complex way with psychedelic leanings not unlike the great eccentric John Fahey. Throughout his study of composition and improvisation, Smith has discovered a very original sound. His relocation to Berkeley, in 2004 has also, undoubtedly, freed any reigns of compositional confinement. Since the 2005 release of his debut self titled disc, Smith has played frequently to growing audiences in the San Francisco Bay Area, sharing stages with Bonnie Prince Billy, Six Organs of Admittance, Harris Newman, Penelope Houston, Jack Rose, Marissa Nadler, Bart Davenport, and Matt Valentine, as well as touring with famed Cul De Sac guitarist Glenn Jones.
