San Francisco-based guitarist and composer Bill Orcutt returns to Roulette to present his latest project, an all-electric Guitar Quartet, performing the music from his 2022 LP Music for Four Guitars. Featuring an all-star team of guitarists Orcutt, Wendy Eisenberg, Ava Mendoza, and Shane Parish, the group will present the music in an expanded live format that will combine intricate composition with no-holds-barred improvisation.
Bill Orcutt is the former guitarist and founder of the notorious 90’s group Harry Pussy, and his sound is a stuttered reimagining of blues guitar, weaving looping melodic lines and angular attack into a dense, fissured landscape of American primitivism, outsider jazz, and a stripped-down re-envisioning of the possibilities of the guitar. Whether he’s playing his decrepit Kay acoustic or gutted electric Telecaster (both stripped of two of their strings, as has been Orcutt’s custom since 1985), Orcutt’s jagged sound is utterly unique and instantly recognizable, compared with equal frequency to avant-garde composers and rural bluesmen. The New York Times has called him a “powerful musician… a go-for-broke guitar improviser,” and described his sound as “articulated sprays of arpeggiated chords and dissonance.”
“A rigidly structured quartet that weaves tiny rhythmic phrases into expansive tapestries, drawing on the tenets of early minimalism and New York guitar groups like Glenn Branca Ensemble.” -Pitchfork - Розваги

This was one of the greatest concerts I've seen in my life. Truly mind blowing.
Thank you for posting this. This was a religiously good show.
Love the many associations these patterns and interplay of voices evoke, like Beefheart, Television, Solar Motel/Chris Forsyth, Riley, Branca.
great sound。
This is insanely great. Take this show on the road y’all!
Fantastic musicianship. The precision and the melodies take me to another place - a good place!
This is great stuff.
Amazing!
Outstanding
Is everyone playing with only 4 strings ?!
Bill Orcutt has been playing with four strings for some time.
This is so good. Reminds me of Branca and Sonic Youth but it is its own thing. I never listened to Harry Pussy so now I have to check them out. I was always put off by the name lol.
❤️❤️❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
good stuff
What is the tuning on the guitars, anyone know
@@BradHebert thanks very much Brad!
What are the track listing? Thanks
Why are their amps all facing away from the audience?
to spare the audience's ears!
I imagine it's to prevent the stage volume from fucking with the monitors in front of them - if your amp is blasting behind you, it's going to be very hard to hear what everyone else is playing no matter what the monitor mix is like.
Guitar Quartet? 🤔🤔🤔
