Keith Rowe
Altmusic is proud to present Keith Rowe (UK) as part of Altmusic's programme of exciting & innovative international musicians touring New Zealand in 2011. Well known for his involvement with pioneering groups AMM and later MIMEO – Keith Rowe is the legendary trailblazer of free improvised, prepared guitar techniques. 'Legendary innovator, UK 'tabletop' guitarist Keith Rowe has explored the guitar as a primary source of pure sound, extending it with an array of objects and bric-a-brac, for more than 30 years. Keith Rowe is probably best known for his groundbreaking work with AMM and the SCRATCH ORCHESTRA. "Twanging ruler-shaped objects set off a cartoon style jiggling tremolo, a block of foam causes mountainous scuffling booms...A one man sound lab and dub studio formed out of a corner hardware shop.."[The Wire June 1999]'
