Originally from Kansas, Brian Mitchell studied music in New York before moving to Berlin. Since living in Berlin, he has focused his attention to solo guitar. This focus has lead to two main points of improvisation. One, De-tuning …what can be done with a guitar when you liberate it from conventional tuning, yet invent melodies and harmonies using conventional chord forms. Two, Feedback sculpture…the amplifier as an instrument, how and where one places a guitar in relation to the amp creates a world of sound, sometimes very harsh, others gentle and calming, and all strangely beautiful.
