about

Improvised solo electric guitar live, recorded 29 April 2018
Guitar: John Bruce Wallace
Copyright 2018 John Bruce Wallace

At The Druid's Feast is comprised of five non-separable parts: Part 1: The Aura of Sorcery, Part 2: Time Not for Misadventure, Part 3: Entities of Disjunctive Parallel, Part 4: Loss At The Scales of Non-such, Part 5: The Solitary Dimension of Banality.

He invented a new technique of playing while continuously changing the pitch of his electric guitar. Svetlana Korel'skaya, ARKHANGEL'SK, Arkhangel'sk, Russia

Solo guitarist John Bruce Wallace, in free improvisation, revamped the modern guitar tradition and, using the technical possibilities of his instrument, transferred it into an individual sound language. Bernd Jahnke (1992) Presentation Zeitgenoessischer Spielarten Improvisierter Musik Vilnius '91". Jazz Podium No. 1 1992, Stuttgart, Germany

His sizzling electric distortion...thick and saturated tone captures a kind of steel industrial sound, gently relating to the development of the urban situation, and technological society on which he comments, and to the worldly issues faced by modern development. Wallace's music comes out like a giant question with no apparent answer...tapping the human interior's post pro-harmonic feedback. LaDonna Smith, the improvisor, Birmingham, AL

He plays with a loud, sustained, rockish tone but within that range he leaves room for varied expression…Wallace’s aggressive guitar sound finds its roots in the guitar noise of Glenn Branca and Rhys Chapman. Sonny Sharrock and Jimi Hendrix are also in evidence…[I]ndividual sustain-drenched notes hang in the air, decaying naturally. Robert Iannapollo, CADENCE, Redwood, NY
