Kevin Drumm
 
Avant-garde tabletop guitarist and synthesizer player (formerly of Brise-Glace and a number of other groups) has been working for several years with other other members of Chicago's improv scene -- most notably Ken Vandermark and Jim O'Rourke. His all-white self-titled album on Perdition Plastics gives you a chance to check out some of his really out there solo work.

Says the Reader's Peter Margasak, "Drumm has developed a guitar analogue to the computer-generated minimalism of FInland's Mika Vainia (of Panasonic) or Cologne's Pita and General Magic, exploiting intentional and accidental elements in disturbingly disjointed, highly abstract, chillingly beautiful soundscapes -- and erasing the already tenuous line between 'real' and 'artificial' music."
