Release Date: October 15th, 2008

For his release on Human Ear, entitled “Small Guitar”, Jib Kidder created a miniaturized Harry Partch planetarium using the sampled ploinks, licks, hits and misses of his electric guitar. His unobtrusive processing draws out a sparkling range of timbres; brittle and cosmic micro-rhythms reminiscent of gamelan, blues and funk. In stark contrast to the saturated beats of his instrumental hip-hop records, entitled “All on Yall,” Small Guitar showcases the artist at his most minimal and introspective.
