In the corner of a small room a shadow is stretching out from the window by the fire-escape, relaxing in a worn out armchair, picked up from the street corner. That shadow sings with a guitar’s voice, and hums tunes boldly, little secrets, esoteric, and humble. Shadow and guitar belong to Sean Smith, who controls them both with his mind from the other side of the room. The night in black, but the light is held in little bubbles of brightness, exploding off of all things that live and breathe (look at the cover). These tunes are living, and breathing their first breaths right now! Ten completely spontaneous recordings, improvised music for the solo-guitar…played for the first time ever as they were being recorded. Fresh paint painted with metal strings, a wood body, and fingernails. Totally.

The extremely mind expanding cover is ready for your feasting eyes… Hallucinogenic photos by Sean Smith’s mother (Julie Brown Smith), high definition silk-screened in two colors by a local independent press, then wrapped around and pasted on jackets (Just like they did before 1965). Hand-made, limited to 500.

{mastered by George Horn, at Fantasy Studios}

“Sean Smith draws an extraordinary range of effects from his guitar... sweeping into passages rich enough to suggest a cello, before clawed percussive structures segue into a high toned shimmer of top register runs and slides.” - The Wire

“Guitarist/composer Sean Smith creates adventurous instrumental pieces for steel-string guitar... Influenced by the ‘American Primitive’ sound of John Fahey, by minimalism, and by a his own rich sense of harmony and the nimble dance of his fingers, Sean explores engrossing musical worlds with his guitar.” - WNYC New York City Public Radio

"If John Fahey was hung like a (Sandy) Bull and had grown up in the ethereal Pacific mist air of Northern California in the last quarter of the 20th Century, he might sound like the incredible 6-string steel and wood sounds of one Sean Smith" - Pat Thomas, (editor) Ptolemaic Terrascope
