Description
Guitarist and composer Paul Dresher talks with Charles Amirkhanian and presents recordings of his music composed from 1979 to 1986. Included is an excerpt from the solo guitar work, “Liquid and Stellar Music”, which first brought notice to the Bay Area composer. Also heard is an excerpt from “Slow Fire”, a groundbreaking work of musical theater featuring the words and voice of Rinde Eckert, playing the character of a paranoid hit man with father issues.
