Digitali Memorie
In the few short years that James Blackshaw has been recording his albums he has been rightly lauded a musical genius by critics and music lovers alike. Criminally underappreciated here in Britain he has gained a large following throughout the rest of world, most notably in America where his albums have achieved cult status.
Blackshaw's Developement
It has been interesting to see this guitar player develop over the course of his recordings, moving from Basho/Fahey inspired raga’s of his early output to the more minimalistic avant guarde pieces which make up the bulk of his most recent efforts. This is most evident in the change of direction his tunings have taken, from early variations on open C to utterly unorthodox tunings with no real chord apparent.
In keeping with other experimental UK guitarists such Nick Drake or Davey Graham, Blackshaw utilises unconventional tunings in his compositions. In a way he uses the instrument almost like a piano, the cyclical picking patterns in his pieces use all of the strings in the courses as possible.
