Hi Kevin

Quote:

There is little doubt that Chas Smith's music requires some commitment from the listener. But such an effort might be repaid with the direct experience of music as an all-enveloping transformation: tactile, tensile, and often surprising.

yes, Chas compose electronic music, despite the germinal sounds come from self-built "acoustic-emitting" waves (slide guitars, etc.)

So theat "commited listener" is a person that like compositions of "textures" sounding as electronic-made

In my modest opinion Chas's music is great not because the eccentricity of instrumentation, but for beauty of textures, a beauty that is difficult to undersatnd for steel guitar musi caudience, difficult to electonic music audience, difficult also for ambient music audience ...

a situation that happen because his music is an overcoming of old rules in art.

btw, me feeeling on "descent" here: http://steelguitarforum.com/Forum15/HTML/011384.html
