That Humans Touch

Touch guitarist Markus Reuter (one half of TUNER with Pat Mastelotto) has been working in Estonia recently on a project called This Fragile Moment.
The Fragile project is Robert Jürjendal and Arvo Urb with Markus, plus  Toyah and Chris Wong from The Humans as collaborators/special guests.

“Working in Estonia was wonderful" says Markus.  "The improvised music sits somewhere between nineties Crimson jams and more abstract Centrozoon stuff, with Toyah’s (mostly spoken word) improvised lyrics. I went totally crazy with wacky guitar sounds. We’re hoping to complete the production later this year. I’ll be producing the final mixes."

Next month Markus will be hosting workshop for anyone wishing to learn more about touch guitar techniques and approaches. You can get more details by visiting the Touch Guitar Circle website.

Finally, speaking of The Humans, my thanks to Fred for letting me know there's an interview with Human honcho Willcox right here.
