Fennesz / Alexander Turnquist
Sun, 03 Apr 2022 (EDT)
08:00PM - 10:30PM
The Avalon Lounge
29 Church St
Catskill, New York 12414
Using a filtered and treated electric guitar as the starting point for his lush soundscapes,
Fennesz has created a personal and groundbreaking discourse throughout his career. Perhaps
sculpting the last truly unique vision for the guitar, his luminant compositions are anything but
sterile experiments. Fennesz’s world of sound unfolds and resembles sensitive, telescopic
recordings of rainforest insect life or natural atmospheric occurrences, an inherent naturalism
permeating each piece. In addition to his prolific output as a solo artist, and his ongoing
investigation of the limits of noise, automatic composition, field music or contemporary
classical, Fennesz is also a frequent collaborator with other luminaries of the scene. These
include artists such as Alva Noto, Oren Ambarchi, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Keith Rowe, Peter
Rehberg, David Sylvian, and Jim O’Rourke.

Alexander Turnquist is a Hudson, NY based multi-instrumentalist and composer most widely known for his use of the 12-string acoustic guitar as a driving force in creating landscape musical fantasies, expressing longings and fulfillments through movements and melody, creating harmonies out of everyday moments captured within a daydream.
